BHS Class of 2025 and Families ~
This information is for seniors intending to apply to college (2-year or 4-year). This document contains information about financial aid and the FAFSA, a federal application that students/families should complete and submit. The 2025-26 FAFSA is now available for completion and submission. Submission and processing of the FAFSA will determine federal and state options to assist families in paying for college. The following links contain general information for your review regarding financial aid and the FAFSA.
Here are some ways you can get ready to fill out your FAFSA form:
Create a StudentAid.gov account (if you don’t already have one).
Learn about the documents you may need to fill out the FAFSA form.
Determine your dependency status and whether your parent(s) or spouse will be required to contribute information on your FAFSA form.
If you’re a dependent student, use the Who’s My FAFSA Parent? wizard to identify which parent(s) will be a required contributor on your form.
