The Bradley University Hometown Scholars Program (BUHSP), is a groundbreaking initiative exclusively designed for students who attend highschool in Peoria or neighboring cities. Our program seeks to bridge the educational and financial gaps that can stand between hard-working students and their dream of a college education. We won't only unlock doors for you; we'll walk you through them with the support of the staff from our Office of Inclusive Excellence. We offer an enriched support system, from a low counselor-to-student ratio to an array of academic services, ensuring you're not just attending college but excelling in it.

  • Must attend and graduate from East Peoria High School, Limestone High School, Manual High School, Pekin High School, Peoria High School, Quest Charter Academy, or Richwoods High School
  • Have a minimum 3.25 GPA
  • Have applied and been admitted to Bradley University
