One of the primary goals of Batavia Foundation for Educational Excellence is to provide scholarships for graduating Batavia High School seniors. Our hope is to ease the financial burden that College and Trade Schools put on students and their families. Each of our scholarships are targeted towards different types of students and tailored towards different majors/future career paths they may be headed towards. Many of them are named to honor Batavia residents who made a large impact on the community.

We were delighted to present 11 exceptional young adults with scholarships this past month! They are all headed off into various institutions to follow their dreams such as nursing, or music, or education. View the list of recipients below:
