We're Back with some Scholarship Info!

Good Morning from Black Hills State University!

I hope all of you enjoyed the Super Bowl last night, it turned out to be a pretty good game! With such a big day behind us, it is time to focus our attention on scholarships! The Admissions Office has been processing and evaluating scholarship application for the past week and we will continue to do so as they come in. The priority deadline was February 1, 2010 but you still have time to get yours in if you haven’t yet. Also, if you have not applied for admission, please do so as soon as possible! We cannot award you any scholarships if you have not applied and been accepted.

You can find all the information concerning scholarships, including the application and the listing of what we are offering at www.bhsu.edu/schoarships. Go online and checkout all the scholarships that you might be eligible for and then you can complete the application right there. When filling out the application, we look for complete applications. Please tell as much as you can about yourself on your scholarship application. You are also more than welcome to attach letters of recommendation but it is not required and you will not be penalized for not doing so.

Look under all of the categories at all of the different types of awards available. Remember to check out the “Outside Scholarships” category as well, these are awards that have separate applications attached that you will need to complete in order to be in the running for those awards. If you have already applied for scholarships and have been accepted for admission, hang tight for a couple of weeks. We have a lot of applications to get through!

It is also a good idea to look for scholarships in other places too. Ask your guidance counselor or your principal. Go online and use search engines such as www.fastweb.com to search for other awards. You can also “Google” scholarships to see what else is out there. There are many scholarships that may not be advertised under search engines such as www.fastweb.com, so remember to do your research.

If you have further questions about BHSU scholarships or if you need any other kind of help, just let us know! Have a great week!
