Program Policies
Full Ride Policy
If a selected Bedrock Scholar has already received a full scholarship or full financial aid package, Bedrock may review remaining eligible educational needs before releasing funds. Bedrock may apply the award toward approved remaining qualified educational expenses or approved enrichment projects instead of duplicating tuition support.
Approved enrichment projects may include competitions, research, academic conferences, leadership programs, required equipment, community initiatives, entrepreneurial ideas, or other meaningful educational opportunities.
Privacy, Consent & Photo Release
Bedrock may request permission to use a scholar’s name, school, story, photo, video, or event participation in program materials, the website, LinkedIn, social media, press releases, and Scholar Dinner materials.
Scholars under 18 must provide parent or guardian consent before Bedrock uses identifying information, photos, videos, or personal stories publicly.
AI & Authenticity Policy
Essays and written responses must be written by the applicant in the applicant’s own voice. AI-generated, AI-rewritten, AI-polished, parent-written, consultant-written, or false submissions are not permitted.
If Bedrock determines that an application includes AI-generated writing, false information, misleading materials, or work that is not the applicant’s own, the applicant may be disqualified or a scholar’s future award eligibility may be canceled.
Renewal Policy
To remain eligible for future scholarship installments, scholars must maintain undergraduate enrollment, remain in good standing with their school, maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher, attend at least one required Bedrock Scholars Dinner each year, submit an annual update, and avoid serious misconduct.
