Scholarship Program - BD Basketball School

The BD Basketball School Scholarship Program exists to provide our unique teaching programs to ANYONE who wants to attend. The only requirement is a love for the game of basketball and a sincere desire to work hard and improve. Are you someone who possesses these qualities? Do you know someone who might make the most of this opportunity who could use the assistance?

Applying for a Scholarship is quite simple. There are no long, intrusive questionnaires, no divulging of personal information, no extensive interviews. However, applicants must have a good understanding of the teaching philosophy, commit to attend and complete their respective program(s), be able to express their personal goals and motivations in written form and be willing to solicit support from mentors who can vouch for character for consideration of this request.
