February 20, 2025
Dear BHS Parents and Guardians:
Senior Parents! If you have not already completed the FAFSA for next year, please make sure to set some time aside to complete this ASAP. All students planning on going to a two or four year college, should complete the FAFSA to see what financial aid they are eligible for. To complete the FAFSA, please visit this website, https://studentaid.gov/ and complete the necessary information. Those who complete the FAFSA early can receive more aid from some colleges and universities, who have additional school based aid on a first come, first serve basis.
Summer is quickly approaching and summer opportunities are available for students in a variety of different interests. Make sure you check out the list of summer programs available and apply before it is too late. You can find the spreadsheet of programs below for your review.
