Thanks for sharing. If selected, your scholarship will include a housing allowance up to the cost of on-campus housing at BSU.

No problem. Please note that if awarded, your scholarship can either cover the full cost of BSU residence halls or provide a housing allowance equivalent to that amount if you live elsewhere. We’ll work with you as your plans develop.
