The Bartlesville Community Foundation (BCF) is excited to announce the launch of its 2026 grant and scholarship cycles. The Foundation’s grant cycle will open on January 26 and close on March 6. Meanwhile, the scholarship cycle is currently live and will remain open until Saturday, February 28.
This year, organizations serving Bartlesville and Washington County may apply for funding through one or more of four available grants: the Fund for Bartlesville, the Rich and Kathleen Rutledge Fund, the Service League Grant Fund, and the newly added Margaret Boesiger Music Enrichment Grant, which supports programs that expand access to music education and enrichment opportunities.
Interested organizations are encouraged to visit the BCF website to review eligibility requirements and submit applications. The Foundation’s grant committee will review submissions following the deadline, with funds distributed by the end of June.
“We are very excited to launch this year’s scholarship and grant lineup. Many new scholarships as well as one new grant will make awards benefitting students and local organizations.” said Laura Jensen, BCF President & CEO.
Currently, thirty-two scholarships are available on the BCF website. These scholarships are open to students in Bartlesville, Nowata, Washington County, and surrounding areas. Scholarship recipients will be notified in May, either during their school’s year-end awards assemblies or directly by the Foundation.
BCF scholarships are made possible through the generosity of donors who wish to honor loved ones, support specific fields of study, or champion education. While some scholarships focus on STEM or the arts, others are broadly applicable. Although most awards are geared toward high school seniors, several opportunities are available to students at any stage of their college journey.
