Best Buy Scholarship

2013 Best Buy Scholarship Program– Students That Hit the Books and Help Their Communities
Best Buy and Best Buy Children’s Foundation serve a diverse population of young teens by providing access to opportunities for teens through technology. Through its support of out-of-school programs, Best Buy is a conduit for teens to reach development opportunities that are important to them.  Best Buy will help teens develop the technology skills they will need for success in college, careers and life….and when they’re ready, we’ll help students in grades 9-12 reach their dreams of college by providing access to education through the Best Buy Scholarship Program.
This year the program will award scholarships to students in grades 9-12 living in the U.S. or Puerto Rico who plan to enter a full-time undergraduate course of study upon high school graduation.
1,100 students will each receive a $1,000 scholarship. If you’re a 9-12 grade student who plans to attend post-secondary education, have solid grades and are involved in community service or have work experience, we encourage you to apply!  (Previous winners are ineligible to apply).
Since 1999, Best Buy has provided over $20.7 million in scholarship funds to help 16,545 students attend college.

How to Apply
The application period opens December 26, 2012 and closes at 11:59 p.m. CST on February 15, 2013.  A helpful hint…..don’t wait until the last couple days to apply as the site experiences heavy traffic at the close of the program.  No late applications will be accepted.  Winners will be announced on at http://pr.bby.com in early May 2012. Be sure to check back to http://pr.bby.com at that time.
