J. Robert Bashore Scholarship

The Bashore Scholarships were started in 1983 and are given in honor of a former University professor and Director of the Honors College, J. Robert Bashore.

The Bashore Scholarships seek to reward students with outstanding academic records who have demonstrated curiosity about ideas beyond the narrow limits of one discipline. In accordance with the goals of the Honors College, the scholarships recognize students who actively pursue a liberal education by enrolling in a variety of courses and participating in a variety of extracurricular activities.

Any student who is a member of the Honors College, has a minimum GPA of 3.5 and has completed at least 24 credits of BGSU coursework is eligible to apply for a scholarship. There is also a 500-word required essay. Last year's scholarship winners cannot win this year. Applications are reviewed by a selection committee.

A minimum of four scholarships are awarded, one for at least $2,000. The amounts awarded to other scholarship winners and the total number of awards are at the discretion of the selection committee. Scholarship funds come from donations. The total amount awarded in past years has been $10,000.

The scholarship application will be available on AcademicWorks in fall and is due on October 30th.
