Home-schooled students, who wish to attend BFIT and pursue a degree or certificate, must meet the same admission requirements as any other applicant, except for providing evidence of graduation from a secondary school or obtaining a state equivalency diploma. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to, completing an application, paying admission fees, submitting evidence of inoculation against measles, mumps, and rubella, taking a math and English assessment, etc.


Admission Requirements

Our admissions requirements for home-schooled students are the same requirements used for students attending a public or private high school. We strongly encourage you to visit BFIT, attend an Open House and schedule a personal appointment with an Admissions counselor.  Financial Aid is available to all prospective home-schooled students who qualify. We recommend that you start the admission process early. This will ensure that you have time to complete the admissions process, meet the scholarship and financial aid deadlines, arrange your housing, and learn about what BFIT has to offer you.
