We are proud to announce the Class of 2024 recipients of the BASIS Educational Ventures Scholarship!
Valued at $5,000, this scholarship is awarded to graduating BASIS Charter School seniors who display academic excellence in the development and execution of their Senior Projects. Unique to BASIS Charter Schools, Senior Projects consist of 10 weeks of off-campus, high-level research on an approved topic. After carefully reviewing this year’s impressive projects, winners were selected by Peter Bezanson, CEO and Co-Chairman of BASIS Educational Ventures, and Patti Bezanson, Co-Chairman of BASIS Educational Ventures.
Every high school in the BASIS Charter School network had at least one winner. The scholarships were announced during each school’s graduation ceremony, where the winners were called to the stage and presented with a certificate.
BASIS Educational Ventures Scholarship recipients can use their $5,000 prize towards tuition at any four-year college or university.
The full list of 2024 winners can be found below, along with each winner’s project title. The breadth of topics showcased in these winning projects—ranging from biology to business management to blacksmithing—illustrates the varied and unique interests of our 2024 graduating class. Please join us in giving a huge congratulations to these hardworking students!
