The Bicycle Casino Scholarship Program has established a scholarship program to assist children of Bicycle Casino team members who plan to continue education in college or vocational school programs. Scholarships are offered each year for full-time study at an accredited institution of the student’s choice.

This scholarship program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship, tuition assistance and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Awards are granted without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender, disability, or national origin.

  • Be dependent* children, under the age of 26, of full-time Bicycle Casino team members who have a minimum of one year employment with the company as of the application deadline date.
    *Dependent children are defined as natural or legally adopted children or stepchildren, living in the team member’s household or primarily supported by the team member.

  • Must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale (or equivalent).

Dependent children of team members earning more than $100,000 a year are not eligible.

Award Amounts

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive an award of $5,000. Awards are not renewable, but students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements. Awards can only be received a maximum of three times.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

Selection of Recipients

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of academic record, demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities, work experience, statement of goals and aspirations, unusual personal or family circumstances, and an outside appraisal.
