Questions before you join

You become part of a genuine community of like-minded students — encouraging each other, inspiring each other, and growing together throughout your time in BSC.

BSC is open to all students who identify as Black, attend a predominantly white institution, and are entering 7th grade and up. Prior to joining, you must also agree to all terms outlined in the Code of Conduct.

No — joining BSC is free. Some individual events may have a separate ticket cost, but general membership itself has no fee.

Go to our Join BSC page, sign up with your name, preference for academic assistance, and agree to the Code of Conduct. You will receive an email confirmation, along with updates about meetings.

One Saturday a month, we have 2–3 hour meetings at a participating school, consisting of a presentation and social time. Discussion is led by BSC reps.

We treat each situation on a case-by-case basis, but generally you will be asked to leave the program if you violate any of the rules.

No — membership doesn't expire. Once you join, you're a BSC member for as long as you'd like to be, with no need to re-register each year. That said, you may need to update your information from time to time (a new school, updated contact info, etc.) — you can do that anytime on our Update Your Information page.

No need to rejoin — just update your information on our Update Your Information page and your record will reflect your new school.

No — you must have an active BSC general membership to serve as a representative.
