UIW Brainpower Connection

Beginning May 2010, BFCS graduates who complete the 8th grade with a B average or better (minimum 3.0 GPA) will be awarded annual $2,500 scholarships to one of UIW’s two Brainpower Connection high schools as well as UIW. This scholarship is independent of any additional scholarships the student may receive.

“This partnership that Dr. Agnese has extended to the Buckner Fanning Christian School and its students is truly a gift from God. We are very honored and proud to become a partner with the University of the Incarnate Word and the Brainpower Connection. These four schools together will do great things and provide a marvelous Christian education to all that participate. We thank God and Lou Agnese for this wonderful blessing,” said Rev. Buckner Fanning, BFCS founder.

UIW is a part of the Brainpower Connection that includes Incarnate Word High School for young women and St. Anthony Catholic High School, which is co-ed.    Read more
