Graduating Hercules high school seniors with a passion for science have scholarship opportunities with Bio-Rad Laboratories.
Hercules-Based Bio-Rad is accepting applications from graduating, college-bound high school seniors for two scholarships, the Ron Mardigian Memorial Scholarship and the Bio-Rad Scholarship, worth $2,500 and $1,000 respectively.
Applicants must be within a 50-mile radius of Hercules and have a 2.5 grade point average or higher. They must also have been accepted to a two or four-year college at the time the scholarship is awarded.
Applying high schoolers will be judged “on need, originality, organization, grammar and personal connection to science,” according to a statement released by BioRad.
Completed applications (which can be found in this article’s attachment) will be accepted at Bio-Rad headquarters, 1000 Alfred Nobel Drive, Hercules, CA 94547, attention Community Outreach. The deadline is March 15.

Laila, does a student have to be both graduating from Hercules High and have a residence within a 50 mile radius? I'm wondering if Pinole Valley and John Swett High Schools can also apply since those students may live within the mile mark but attending an alternate school.

Hi Cindy, the applicants would need to be college bound graduating seniors within 50 miles of Bio-Rad's Hercules headquarters, so I'm sure Pinole Valley and John Swett High students would qualify.
