Dear Parents,
The funding of the BBYO Financial Assistance Scholarship is from a pool of money made available through many sources to assist young people in attending AZA BBG International Convention (IC) in cases where finances are a restricting factor. In order to apply for this scholarship your teen must be a current BBYO member in good standing and registered for IC. A Scholarship Committee will review this confidential information. The Committee will make awards based on the information you provide. The primary function of the Committee is to maximize opportunities to attend International Convention in cases where finances are a restricting factor. Please note that this scholarship is limited and most scholarship awards range from $100-$400 (a full scholarship is never granted). IC scholarship applications must be received no later than October 31, 2014 to the below address by standard mail, fax or email:
