Bath Volunteers for Service, through the proceeds from various annual fund-raising events, conducts annually an application process for two grant areas - Community Grants and Student Grants and Awards.
Community Grants Overview
Starting annually in September with applications due October 15th by midnight, BVS opens the grant process to local charities and non-profits (501c3) to fund items and/or programs that enhance the grantees’ ability to carry out their mission within Summit County. Notices are sent to local publications, via BVS’ social media.
Grants are awarded to a diverse group of organizations that benefit families and children, including those trying to combat poverty, reduce food insecurity, provide crisis prevention and emergency support, and exceptional educational and healthcare opportunities, in addition to other community interests. (See more information under our COMMUNITY GRANTS page).
Student Grants and Awards
Each spring, BVS presents two different financial awards to graduating seniors, a Tuition Scholarship Grant to a graduating Revere High School senior, and the Volunteer Service Merit Awards to seniors living in the Revere Local School District or attend Revere High School.
Due to the success of our 2024 fund raising events we are proud to announce that we are once again accepting applications for these awards.
Tuition Scholarship Grant
The Tuition Scholarship Grant of $1500 per year for a maximum of four consecutive years is awarded to a graduating senior attending Revere High School for post-secondary education. This grant is based on verified financial need and is paid annually to an accredited school of higher education that the student attends.
Volunteer Service Merit Award
The Bath Volunteers for Service acknowledges the value of volunteering and encourages graduating seniors who have demonstrated that volunteer service has become an integral part of their emerging philosophy of life to apply for these $1000 non-tuition cash awards.
The Merit Award information and application is provided to local school’s guidance office and available on the BVS website starting in February each year. Only applicants who live in the Revere Local School District or attend Revere High School are eligible to apply. Applicants living in the Revere Local School District and attending other area high schools or are home schooled are encouraged to apply.
