2023 Cullen Scholars Application
Cullen Foundation is excited for the launch of the 2023 Cullen Scholars application process.
Though our Cullen Scholars program, Cullen Foundation assists families of highachieving 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 (Erie County only).
