The Brunswick Housing Authority (BHA) established the Don McGlamory Education Scholarship in 2008 for the benefit of all BHA Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) families with graduating seniors (or GED in the same scholastic year) that plan to attend a local institution of higher education. The scholarship serves as a vehicle of hope to those individuals who have a desire to further their education but lack the adequate financial means to accomplish this goal. The Scholarship is designed to inspire these young adults to work toward becoming independent and economically self-sufficient members of the community. The scholarships are available on a competitive basis and the award amount varies from year to year, depending on the availability of funds. Qualifications and additional information can be found here.
SERC, NAHRO, PHADA and GAHRA have tremendous scholarship opportunities available. As information becomes available we will post information for all the scholarships opportunities on our website.
