Dear Class of 2025 Students and Families,
Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through your senior year. Many of you are receiving exciting college and trade school acceptances, and while this is a time to celebrate, we understand that the financial aid process can feel overwhelming. To help ease the stress, we wanted to share a valuable local resource: Bristol Community College’s Financial Aid offices will be offering extended hours throughout January to assist families. You do not need to be attending BCC to take advantage of this support!
Extended hours: 8:00AM - 7:00PM (No appointment needed!)
- Mondays: Fall River campus
- Tuesdays: New Bedford campus
- Wednesdays: Taunton campus
- Thursdays: Attleboro campus
This is a great opportunity to get your questions answered and ensure your FAFSA is completed accurately, maximizing your financial aid opportunities. We encourage all families to take advantage of this resource and navigate the financial aid process with confidence.

Any parent or caregiver is welcome to come to the next Parent Teacher Partnership Meeting on Wednesday, January 15th at 6:00 PM. We will review the course offerings for next year.
