Warrior New Student Referral Program
Many of our best families came here because someone they trusted told them about us. When you refer a new family and they enroll and complete their first full semester, both your family and theirs receive a tuition discount — automatically.
5% tuition discount — for both families
That's up to $250 per family, applied at the start of second semester.
Program Guidelines
- ✓
The referred family must be new to BRCS (not a returning family).
- ✓
The new student must complete one full semester before the credit is applied.
- ✓
There is no limit on the number of families you can refer — each successful referral earns a credit.
- ✓
Families receiving need-based tuition assistance are not eligible for the additional tuition discount, but will receive recognition and appreciation for every successful referral.
