November Scholarship Letter

11/12/2025

Dear Seniors, Juniors and their Parents/Guardians,

Below are some resources for the college scholarship search. Please note that BHS has our own scholarships to distribute, and information about these scholarships will be released in late December. Meanwhile, below are some additional options that are free. We strongly believe that you do not need to pay any outside agencies to find scholarships for your student (they are probably utilizing the same databases).

MEFA financial aid events are held online throughout the year. BHS Guidance partners with the Massachusetts Education Financing Authority (MEFA) each year to provide families with a wealth of financial aid information. Please visit https://www.mefa.org/events to research upcoming webinars.
