Fallen Soldier Memorial Scholarship

The Fallen Soldiers Memorial Scholarship Fund was established on April 12, 2014, in honor of our deceased members whose fundraising efforts towards education and scholarship are not forgotten.

Each year, the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club of Northern VA will award 3 academic scholarships to deserving college-bound high school seniors or current students enrolled at an accredited college or university, 2-year community college, or vocational institution.

Scholarships awarded annually provided that the above-mentioned criteria are continuously met. Additionally, the National Association of Buffalo Soldiers and Troopers Motorcycle Clubs, Inc. (NABSTMC), offers scholarship opportunities for deserving students based on similar criteria. The application period begins in January and ends in April of each calendar year.  

The BSMC of Northern Virginia will mail scholarship funds, on behalf of the student, upon verification of enrollment to the college/university the student will be attending. A scholarship of $1000 will be awarded based on a completed application packet, which includes financial need, qualifications, essay, and supporting documentation.

• Minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale.
• Accepted and enrolled at an accredited college or university, 2-year community college, or vocational institution.
