The BEF Academic Scholarship Program is divided into two
categories: Excellence in Education scholarship ($5,000 awarded
over a two-year term) and Billiard Congress of America (BCA)
scholarships (7x $1,000 awarded annually). The objective of
the BEF Academic Scholarship Program is to grant scholarships to
high school seniors who have benefited from the sport of
billiards and are pursuing a college education.
