BHC SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Support Education.
Change a Future.
Empower
Growth
Burbank Housing Corporation (BHC) proudly offers two scholarship opportunities exclusively for our residents: the Allen Cottriel Scholarship, supporting college-bound youth, and the “Never Too Late” Scholarship, created for non-traditional adult students returning to school.
​
At BHC, we believe education is one of the most powerful tools for breaking cycles of financial hardship and building long-term stability. Our residents are hardworking students, young people preparing for college, and adults courageously taking steps to further their education, who are striving to create brighter futures for themselves and their families.
​
The BHC Scholarship Fund exists to remove financial barriers and provide meaningful support to residents pursuing higher education. If you share our belief that every student deserves a chance to succeed, we invite you to support the BHC Scholarship Fund.
Your contribution, in any amount, directly invests in education, opportunity, and the future of our community. Together, we can help dreams take shape, one student at a time.
Allen Cottriel Scholarship
In 2004, Burbank Housing Corporation (BHC) created The Allen Cottriel Scholarship in memory of our first BHC Board President & founding member. The Allen Cottriel Scholarship Fund provides modest awards to youth (17-23 years old) in the BHC Community, in hopes of reducing the financial burden of higher education.​ Scholarship awards range from $500 to $1,500.
The Gaining Ground Scholarship,
Supporting BHC Students
Through a partnership with Gain Federal Credit Union, Burbank Housing Corporation (BHC) awards one “Gaining Ground” Scholarship each year to a college-bound resident selected from the Allen Cottriel Scholarship applicant pool. This scholarship reflects a shared commitment to education, financial empowerment, and community investment.
Together, BHC and Gain FCU help reduce financial barriers for students and support their path toward long-term success.
Never Too Late Scholarship
Through the “Never Too Late” Scholarship, BHC seeks to provide modest scholarship awards to non-traditional students who reside in BHC-managed properties. Nontraditional students are characterized as adults 24 and older who may have family and work responsibilities as well as other life circumstances that can interfere with reaching educational goals.
Our mission is to support our adult residents who are seeking higher education, vocational training, or professional certifications that will lead to high-paying employment and financial stability. The “Never Too Late” Scholarship Fund will help BHC residents overcome financial barriers and will support social-economic mobility among families.
