FHSU Health & Behavioral Science Day

August 27, 2026 at 6:00:00 PM

FHSU Health & Behavioral Science Day!

FHSU will be hosting a fall College of Health and Behavioral Sciences Day at Fort Hays State University, Friday, October 9, 2026. This all-day free event is open to high school students who are currently juniors and seniors in the 2026-2027 school year.

Students will:

  • Visit all six departments in the College of Health and Behavioral Sciences (Allied Health, Communication Sciences and Disorders, Health and Human Performance, Nursing, Psychology, and Social Work). If you are not interested in these fields of study, then this particular event is not one you would want to sign up for.
  • Learn about academic, career, and other unique educational opportunities within these departments.
  • Tour academic facilities, including clinical and simulation labs within these departments.
  • Engage with faculty, staff, and students in each of the six departments.

Transportation is not provided by BHS. If you choose to attend, you will be responsible for lining up your own transportation. This would count as a college visit, so you would need to fill out a college visit permission slip and turn it in to me as well. 

For more information and if you would like to sign up for this event, click on the link here: https://www.fhsu.edu/admissions/events/health-and-behavioral-science-day.



If you register:  Once your registration has processed, a confirmation will be emailed with additional information.

Registration will close Monday, October 5th, or earlier if their reach their capacity.

Financial Aid Night 2026 - Wednesday, 9/16

September 12, 2026 at 6:00:00 PM

Financial Aid Night 2026 - THIS WEDNESDAY, 9/16

 

As a reminder, our annual Financial Aid Night is this Wednesday, September 16th!

Time:  6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.

Where:  BJSHS Commons

 

We recommend that all seniors and at least one parent attend this meeting; if you do NOT intend to file the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), then you do not need to attend. Remember, however, that we feel it is wise for every single one of you to take the time to fill out the FAFSA. If your parents have recently filed a FAFSA with an older child and feel like they know what they are doing, then it is okay not to attend. With that being said, there have been big changes to the FAFSA over the past few years that we will be going over.

 

Prior to filing the FAFSA, you and a parent must set up an FSA ID for the student and for one parent (that you currently live with 51% of the time). If your parents already have an FSA ID that they used with an older child, then they do NOT need to create another one. I have attached instructions on how to set up an FSA ID. The student FSA ID and the parent's FSA ID will need to be created prior to filing the FAFSA. The FAFSA will open on October 1, 2026, so creating your FSA ID now is the best preparation.

 

We hope to see you this Wednesday night!
