ELIGIBLITY
Your first step to receiving the Buchanan Promise is to complete the Eligibility Application form. This application is to be completed during your senior year and is required to determine whether you are eligible to receive the Buchanan Promise Scholarship.
Once you are deemed eligible to receive the Buchanan Promise, you will receive a letter in the mail with instructions to complete your Buchanan Promise Pledge. This is where you will indicate whether or not you intend to use your Promise funds immediately following graduation or if you intend to defer your award until a later date. Failure to complete this step will result in your Promise Funds being revoked. Please see our handbook or contact us for any questions you may have.
Students who live within Buchanan Community School District and graduate from Buchanan High School may be eligible to receive up to $15,000 in tuition for post-secondary education.
