Sioux Falls Reception & Scholarships

Greetings Black Hills State University Fans!

I am glad to see some of you catching on to all the cool things that Black Hills State University does such as blogging. We also do lots of other cool stuff such as Preview Days and visiting your schools, but one thing that is really great are the receptions! These are when the BHSU Admissions Office and other representatives from campus come to visit you! In fact, there is a reception in Sioux Falls tonight at the Sheraton Hotel starting at 6:30 pm! This would be a great opportunity to check out BHSU and some of the things happening on campus lately. You will hear from the admissions office as well as from current students and current professors. There will also be folks from Residence Life and Financial Aid as well as someone from each College to answer questions that you might have. If you live in Sioux Falls or in the surrounding area, it would really be a great way to spend your evening. Not to mention, there is a $500 scholarship that will be awarded to one student! But you can’t win it if you are not there so go to www.bhsu.edu/siouxfalls to sign up!

This is also a great time for me to tell you a little about some of the scholarship opportunities at BHSU. We have one general scholarship application for all of the scholarships available at www.bhsu.edu/scholarships. You only have to do the one application! It doesn’t get much better than that. Then you are plugged into each different scholarship to determine which ones you will be considered for. However, it is important to note that you must have applied and been accepted to BHSU before you can be eligible for any scholarships. It is just as easy to apply though. Right now is a great time to apply and start working on your scholarship application. Most of the scholarships will be awarded in the spring, so it is important to be eligible NOW. Many different things will be considered when we are reviewing scholarship applications. ACT or SAT scores, GPA and class rank are some of the few, but the answers that you put on your application are also very important, so make sure to fill it out with the kinds of information that we will like to hear about. Remember, if you have any questions you can always contact myself or any of the other Admission Counselors for help. After all, that is what we are here for!

I hope to hear from more of you soon!
