Next Steps for Admitted LHE Students

Set Up Your BW Network Account: The BW network access gives you access to BW email, Blackboard and lots of online resources you’ll use as member of the BW community.
To set up your BW network account, go to myaccount.bw.edu and confirm your identity. You will need your BW student ID number, which is printed on the blue card that was enclosed with your letter of admission.
If you need help with your student ID, contact the office of admission at (440) 826-8012 or graduate@bw.edu.
Once you answer the identity questions, you will receive a username and password and your BW email will be displayed.

Stipend for Full-time Student Internships
Each year, full-time students receive an annual $10,000 taxable stipend that can be applied to the cost of the program. This total program stipend of $20,000 is compensation for your work as a graduate intern. Students may elect to use this stipend to significantly reduce the overall cost of the program.
FAFSA
To apply for a federal direct student loan and graduate PLUS loan, complete the FAFSA annually. BW’s Federal ID code is 003014. For the first year of the program, complete the 2017-18 FASFA.
Graduate PLUS loans are available to help LHE students finance any remaining educational costs not covered by federal direct student loans, including program costs and estimated living expenses as determined by the financial aid process. Learn more about financing options for graduate students.
