Burlington High School Scholarship Program for the Class of 2014

Tuesday April 1st, is the deadline for the Burlington High School General Scholarship Application for seniors ( BHS Class of 2014). All general scholarship applications must be delivered directly to the Guidance secretaries. A receipt will be given for the General Scholarship Application indicating that the Guidance Department has received the General Scholarship application. This application takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

Filling this scholarship automatically places your name in the running for over 40 scholarships. We encourage ALL students to apply, whether four year, two year, trade school, etc.

As a reminder all applications can be downloaded on the Naviance program, however all applications must be submitted in paper format ONLY to the Guidance Department. Please do not e-mail any completed applications.

Bay Path College and Burlington High School

Burlington High School in conjunction with Bay Path College is happy to offer a fall 2012 business course for Burlington High School seniors and juniors. This is an excellent opportunity for selected seniors (and juniors) to receive dual credit. Dual credit gives BHS students the opportunity to receive college credit and high school credit. Given that Bay Path has a satellite campus at BHS travel requirements are minimal. Click here for an application and details or stop by the Guidance Office to pick up an application.

BC Splash Registration Now Open

BCSplash is a rare opportunity both for college and high school students. BC undergraduate and graduate students have the opportunity to share and showcase their passion for education in a classroom setting while high school students are immersed in the college environment for a whole day. They have the chance to explore the campus, network with undergraduates, and take classes in a wide variety of subjects. Classes from last semester’s course catalog include:
·  “Sandbox Science: Building Rivers”
·  “Lightning and Levitation: Visualizing Electricity and Magnetism”
·  “Medical Sciences of House M.D.”
·  “Fun with Liquid Nitrogen”
·  “Political Structures in the World of Harry Potter”
·  “Dimensionality and the Shape of the Universe”
·  “How to Avoid Awkwardness”

BC Splash aims to ignite a passion for learning and knowledge that is often lost in the high school classroom environment. After taking Splash classes, it is our hope that students begin exploring the subjects that interest them most at a deeper level and consider seriously the possibility of moving on to higher education.
