Dear Students,
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 January. 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 will be online this fall. 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/eventsLinks to an external site. to research upcoming webinars and take a look at their very informative website.

As I’ve done in the past, all NEW UPDATES will be highlighted in BLUE each week for easy scanning of newest info!
Quarter 1 is 1/2 away done! IPRs (Interim Progress Reports) were posted on student/parent portals last Thurs 10/13. These messages celebrate good student work and can note areas where a student needs to focus and make improvements before Quarter 1 ends on November 7. If a student has questions/concerns/or just wants to say hello to their counselor, please encourage your student to stop by their counselor’s office when not in class. Gr 10-12 counselors are doing their best to support all of their students. Students should still contact their counselor for any questions or concerns – school related, post high school planning related, extracurricular activities related, or life related. If a counselor is not available when a student stops by their office, PLEASE remind them to leave a note or send an email. Counselors are nonstop with meetings in and out of their offices, especially due to the significant number of BHS seniors now applying early to colleges for 11/1 and 11/15 deadlines. They are working closely with these students for advising and counselor recommendation writing. If a student issue is urgent, please indicate URGENT in the email heading. Thanks for your understanding! We’re here and ready to support EVERY BHS student! Seniors and their parents/guardians are invited to join us for the virtual panel with
admissions representatives from BU, Northeastern, UMass Amherst, UVM and Mass Bay CC. We will start with updates from each school and then take your questions.
