What We Do

• The Blue White Scholarship Foundation "Bridges the Gap" for students who are STILL short AFTER they have received all possible aid from every source within the University. 
   

• Villanova University reports a 21% financial aid gap                 (Source: U.S. News & World Report, Best Colleges Edition, March 2018)

​

• The average gap for our scholarship recipients is $13,000 per student.​

What Makes Us Unique

• Our scholars take the Benjamin Franklin Pledge to "Pay It Forward"  and promise to help a future BWSF student.
  
   

​

• Our top donors act as "Judges," reviewing, evaluating, and scoring student applications. The result: Our donors have a direct role in determining which students receive scholarships.
  
   

​

• Donors, along with current and former Scholarship Recipients participate in Mentoring and Networking programs.

​​

• The Blue White Scholarship Foundation, also known as the Blue White Club, is the only nation-wide, and the oldest, independent alumni organization composed of alumni & friends of Villanova University.

• Blue White Scholarship recipients have all taken the pledge to pay it forward. Here are six ways to pay it forward that won't break the bank.
