To aid them in their education, the SBC has established the Jacques Curwen/Jay Guidry Scholarship Fund and is offering a one year $500 scholarship to the college of their choice.  To date, we have distributed over $38,000.00 in scholarships to deserving youths to assist in furthering their education.

This scholarship is available to any senior youth bowler, male or female, in our member states provided they meet the following requirements.
