While over ten thousand students apply to BITBU Prep each year, they have a very low acceptance rate of only about 2%. The tuition is also very high, at $54,567 per year. However, they offer multiple types of scholarships. The Shaheen scholarship is named after Jamie Shaheen, famous songwriter and fifth president of BITBU. She is the one who provides the money for the scholarships, as a BITBU Prep alumni. It offers a full scholarship, as well as many perks including one on one lessons with famous bubble-makers and even the president of BITBU. The Shaheen scholarship is only offered to 10 students per class year, known as the Shaheen Scholars. In order to select Shaheen Scholars, BITBU Prep staff interview the top 25 applicants on the BITBU Prep entrance exams. The interviews are recorded and then Jamie Shaheen herself (Along with D.B.S's guidance) selects the ten she believes fitting to be a Shaheen Scholar. There are also Fartnation scholars, named after the legendary bubblemaker Fartnation. They recieve a half scholarship. The Shaheen applicants who do not pass the interview become Farnation Scholars, as well as ten students who scored the closest to qualifying for the interview. This means there are 25 Fartnation scholars in all.
