Cullen Foundation is excited for the launch of the 2024 Cullen Scholars application process.
Through our Cullen Scholars program, Cullen Foundation assists families of high-achieving students in mitigating the financial challenges of attaining a private middle school and high school education. Cullen Foundation believes that access to high quality education is critical for individual and community success. To this end, we provide an opportunity to a select group of high-performing students to attend a private school in the BISON Scholarship Fund network (K-8 schools in Erie County only) and the EdCo Network (high schools in Erie County only). The entry point for this scholarship is grade 6 (i.e., for the 2024-25 school year).
