Lilly/BDPA Scholars will be awarded a one-time $2,500 scholarship that may be used to pursue an Information Technology focused degree at an accredited four-year college or university of their choice.  The Lilly/BDPA scholarship may be used to supplement benefits from the college or university a student plans to attend and fellowships from other foundations or organizations.  Students may use the scholarship to cover the cost of tuition, fees, books, room and board, and other college-related expenses.
