Selection Criteria and Process

The Academic Council selects recipients from applicants who meet all eligibility requirements. Selection is based on:

1. The applicant’s explanation of how the selected degree program supports the applicant’s educational and professional goals;
2. The relationship between the applicant’s proposed education and professional or workforce development;
3. Verification of the applicant’s affiliation with an active Bangor Region Chamber of Commerce member organization; and
4. The complete and timely submission of the scholarship application and required documentation.

Satisfaction of the minimum eligibility requirements does not guarantee selection. If qualified applicants receive equivalent evaluations and available scholarship funding is limited, priority will be determined by the date on which each complete application and all required documentation were received.

*Selected recipients may receive up to $5,000. Beal University may award up to 25 scholarships for the September 2026 module. If there are more qualified applicants than available scholarship awards, recipients will be selected by the Academic Council according to the selection criteria outlined above. If qualified applicants receive equivalent evaluations and available scholarship funding is limited, priority will be determined by the date on which each complete application and all required documentation were received.

The scholarship amount will not exceed the recipient’s remaining eligible tuition charges. Scholarship funds are credited directly to the recipient’s Beal University student account and may be applied only toward eligible tuition charges. Scholarship funds are not paid directly to the recipient and will not create a credit balance, cash payment, or stipend. Any unused portion is forfeited.

This scholarship may not be combined with another Beal University institutional scholarship unless the combination is expressly permitted by the published terms of the applicable scholarship or promotion and confirmed in writing by Beal University. When combination is permitted, total institutional scholarship assistance may not exceed the student’s remaining eligible tuition and required fee charges and will not result in a credit balance, cash payment, or stipend.

Financial aid is available for those who qualify.
