Financial Aid Information Sessions

BSC’s Financial Aid Office will be hosting Financial Aid Information Sessions for seniors and their parents on Monday, October 25^th and Tuesday, November 2^nd at 5:30pm in the Multipurpose Room at the Career Academy. These sessions will cover the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form and other important financial aid information. Seniors and parents are encouraged to attend one of these sessions. Email your career advisor, Shannon Balerud, with any questions at Shannon_Balerud@bismarckschools.org.

Seniors, if you did not get a chance to apply to a ND college during College Application Day you can use the code CAM2021 until the end of October to have your application fee waived.  Stop at student services or contact your counselor with any questions. 

MALE STUDENTS:  Federal law requires that all men register with Selective Service within 30 days of their 18^th birthday.  Now, 17 year old men can submit their registration information early on the Internet (www.sss.gov), or by filling out a form at any post office.  They can submit information to Selective Service at age 17 years and 3 months old and be automatically registered when they turn 18.  The Selective Service web site information can be found in the BHS Student Services Office.  Selective Service registration is required to be eligible for a student loan, job training, most federal jobs, and U.S. citizenship.

Juniors and seniors interested in a medical career, see Ms. Balerud in Student Services to register for an interactive health career exploration event. Hurry, as spots are limited and preregistration is required.

No School Thursday and Friday … Have a great short week!!!
