BDK SCHOLARS PROGRAM
The BDK SCHOLARS Program is dedicated to supporting local families in the Greater Cincinnati area by providing financial awards for private high school education. Our awards are based on a student's commitment to community service or financial need. In addition to philanthropic mentoring, selected students are required to participate in at least four community service initiatives each year, collaborating with us and other local nonprofits. Together, we foster a spirit of giving back and help shape the leaders of tomorrow.
