Open for donations
Family, friends, and community supporters donate through the official Bold.org fund page. Donations build Bernard's fund for scholarship awards and do not automatically determine or change the amount of a published scholarship.
The fund does not accept student applications. It collects contributions that the family can allocate to this and future Bernard Antonio Andrews Memorial Scholarship awards.
Donate through Bold.orgHow contributions work
Bold.org holds community contributions in the Bernard Antonio Andrews Memorial Scholarship Fund. The family then applies the available fund balance to this or future scholarship awards through Bold.org's donor process.
This memorial website does not collect payments or applications. The official Bold.org pages provide the secure donation and application process.
