We are a group of educated Burundians dedicated to creating opportunities and making a powerful impact within the Burundian community

OUR MISSION

OUR VISION

To provide Burundian students with the tools and opportunities they need to reach their full potential

OUR VALUES

The Burundian Scholarship Foundation (BSF) believes that every Burundian student deserves an opportunity to attend college and attain a degree in higher education. Many Burundian students are minorities from immigrant, low-income households, and often lack the financial means to support their educational aspirations. As a Burundian-led organization, we are committed to elevating and inspiring Burundian students to pursue their career dreams by offering scholarships.

We are dedicated to helping students follow their dreams by providing a helping hand on their journey to achieving a degree. This commitment is realized through the creation of programs that prioritize Academic Excellence, Community Empowerment, Innovation, and more. As experts in higher education, having been students ourselves and faced the same challenges as every student in higher education, we are passionate advocates for educational equity and opportunity.

On the road to success everyone needs a little help to fulfill their journey. BSF is proud to be a stepping stone of success for our Burundian youth who seek to attain higher education in the hopes of fulfilling their dreams.
