BPW Clay Center Scholarship Fund

Specific Need

Invest in Futures: Support Local Scholarships

Your donation can make a life-changing impact for students in Clay County. Each year, we award approximately $10,000 in scholarships to help local individuals pursue higher education. About 50% of these scholarships go to Clay County High School seniors, while the rest support students continuing their college journey beyond the first year—when funding opportunities often become scarce.

 Many students receive help for their freshman year, but struggle to find support as they progress. That’s where we step in. By focusing on second-year and beyond students, we fill a critical gap and help them stay on track toward graduation.

Our scholarship recipients don’t just leave—they give back. Most return to Clay Center to volunteer during the BPW/Clay Center Car Show, held in conjunction with Piotique, strengthening the very community that supported them.

Expanding our donor base beyond the car show allows us to increase scholarship amounts and reach even more deserving students. Your contribution isn’t just a donation—it’s an investment in the future of Clay Center.

Help us grow. Help them thrive.

Mission

Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders

We are committed to assisting local students in furthering their education—because they are our future.  By providing scholarships and support, we help unlock opportunities for young minds to grow, achieve, and give back to the community that raised them.

Every dollar invested in education is a step toward a stronger, brighter Clay County.  Together, we’re not just funding degrees—we’re shaping futures.
