The College Credit Program Summer Enrollment
The Early College Credit Program provides students an opportunity to take college courses while still in high school as approved by the School District of Beloit. All approved courses are paid for by the district (providing the student passes the course) or by the student if he or she fails the course.
Students should review the college's course catalog online to determine if he or she can take a selected course (prerequisites considered). Students will not be approved for courses comparable to those currently taught at BMHS.
The deadline to apply for a summer course is FEBRUARY 1st through the Early College Credit Program at a UW School and/or a Wisconsin Private College. There are no exceptions to the deadline date.
Please see links to applications below. ALL COURSES WILL BE TAUGHT ON YOUR APPROVED COLLEGE CAMPUS.
All applications must be completed and emailed to Mrs. Angela Snow in the School Counseling Office by the February 1st deadline.
Application for a course at a University of Wisconsin school.
Application for a course at a Wisconsin Private School.
NOTE: Beloit College is a Wisconsin Private School. If you are interested in taking a course this summer at Beloit College, please see the additional information below.
You may contact Cherish Golden, Early College Credit Coordinator at Beloit College for assistance in applying for a summer course. Ms. Golden can be reached at (608) 363-2180.
Seniors - Important Scholarship Information
Seniors please make sure to look at this scholarship website to see if there are any for you to apply for. They are specifically for students at Beloit Memorial:
The Community Foundation of Southern Wisconsin, Inc. has a scholarship section on our website that lists available scholarships.
SCF offers several scholarships for students pursuing a trade or attending a technical school. At times, there are few applicants for these opportunities yet there is a nationwide shortage of tradespeople; and in two years you can be working with little if any debt, good pay, and benefits.
Have you worked on the Increscent? Are you pursuing a career in Art, Art Design, Graphic Arts, or Art Education? Were you involved in the performing arts, or do you seek a career in music? We’ve got awards for that. Did you participate in a Community Action Program? Are you enrolling in a culinary school or studying hotel/restaurant management? We have you covered. Are you attending UW Whitewater Rock County? Do you want to be an educator? We’ve got your back. Whatever study you’re pursuing, odds are SCF offers a scholarship for it!
Application Opens – December 13th
Start researching SCF scholarships now so you are prepared to complete your application when it opens December 13th. Only one complete application is needed to apply for more than 70 scholarships available to BMHS graduating seniors and alums. You can find the SCF application at this LINK .
Application Closes – February 15th
The application deadline is February 15th. No late or incomplete applications will be considered. On occasion, either party can experience technical issues, so we strongly encourage you not to wait until the last minute!
Seven Quick Tips For Submitting The Best Application
- Don’t miss the deadline to apply – February 15.
- Follow the application directions exactly. If you’re unclear about something, email Tammy Kerch tammy@statelinecf.com for an answer to your question or concern.
- Make sure your application is complete and correct and that all requested documents are uploaded. Forgetting one document or missing one question can and will eliminate your application from consideration.
- All uploaded documents must be in PDF format only.
- Proofread everything before you submit your application. In fact, submit your application when you’re fresh, not when you’re tired. Print a copy of your online confirmation page.
- To qualify for financial need scholarships, complete the FAFSA now because a copy of your Student Aid Report is required with your application.
- For short answer or essay questions, please take your time. Read the questions thoroughly, then take your time and answer the questions in detail. Your responses to these questions help the scholarship committees get to know more about you!
To start your application, you will need the following items
- Valid email account, preferably not a school account
- Transcripts—Contact your school to request your transcripts. We suggest you allow 2-4 weeks. We accept unofficial transcripts. Transcripts must be scanned and uploaded.
- ACT/SAT Test Scores—We accept unofficial test scores; scores must be scanned and uploaded.
- Essay or Personal Statement—Use Word or another program to type your essay. Make sure to run it through spellcheck and ask someone you trust to proofread it for you. Read it out loud to catch any mistakes and listen to the tone.
- FAFSA/SAR—Once you’ve completed your FAFSA, you’ll receive a Student Aid Report (SAR). If you file your FAFSA electronically, you will be notified by email. If you file with a paper form, you will need to scan and save the report as a PDF file.
