cabinet in the Career Room.
All scholarships received in this office will be posted in the
monthly senior bulletins and updated weekly in the
Career Room above the scholarship file cabinet or found on the BHS web page
at www.bps-ok.org/bhs .
Watch for the scholarships that apply to you. The due dates for applications that
contain a portion which
your counselor must complete or attach a transcript are
listed below in the “counselor deadline” column.
It is to your advantage to get these
scholarships to your counselor as early as possible. Many scholarship
applications are to be completed on line. The websites and deadlines are listed below.

PLEASE NOTE: Almost every
university offers a variety of scholarships to first time entering
freshmen. They may be based on academics,
need, or specific areas of study and usually require early application. It would be impossible to list all of the
“University specific” scholarships on this bulletin. You may find some of these in our college
file in the Career Room filed by state and then college. Also, the college websites will provide
this information. If space permits, we
will list scholarships to a particular college as we receive specific information,
however priority will be given to scholarships not associated to a particular
college. You must apply to the college
or university before you apply for a specific scholarship or financial aid. |
