BCSF Visiting Science Scholar

Visiting Science Scholar

The BCSF Visiting Scholar Program was started through a sizable donation to the Bettendorf Community Schools Foundation by a Bettendorf graduate to be used to recognize BHS graduates who have gone on to secure successful careers in a field of science as well as recognize the impact of the late Donald Schaefer, a retired Bettendorf High School science teacher. The program helps to give students a better understanding of the link between science studies and career possibilities.
