In December of 2003, the BSIP Advisory Board adopted a policy that reduces a BSIP student’s potential scholarship by $100.00 for every missed assignment, study hall hour, BSIP event hour, pre-college hour, or community service hour. A variety of make-up opportunities will be provided each year. Students must complete make-up time/assignments within the same academic year as required.
