Incoming BISD 9th grade students who will be the first in their family to complete a college degree are encouraged to apply. Teacher recommendations, attendance, TAKS scores, and grades will all be considered in the selection process.

100 highly motivated incoming BISD 9th grade students with a strong desire to succeed academically will be selected to meet the BECHS challenge.

Students may achieve up to 2 years of college credit, tuition-free, while also earning a high school diploma. Financial savings for a family could equal or exceed $14,000 in tuition, fees, and textbook costs.
