The BCHS Tuition Work Program provides an opportunity to work at premier venues (which could include Lucas Oil Stadium, Indiana Convention Center, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Notre Dame Stadium) and earn money that can be applied to the tuition of a BCHS student of your choice.
- Members who register from our community will work together, when possible.
- Pay ranges from $12-$30/hour, depending on the event.
- Money is directly credited to the account of the student(s) of your choice.
- Other family members, friends, and students over 16 can work for the student of their choice.
- After initial registration in the program, we’ll send you information as events are open, and you can sign up for as many as you want depending on your availability.
How to Apply for the Program
EACH person participating must complete the following two (2) forms to register for the program and work events:

Converting a Paper Form to Electronic
If you do not have access to a scanner, you can take a photo of the W-9 with your cell phone. Then, use your phone to complete the BCHS registration form below and upload the W-9 photo during submission. Be sure to delete the photo from your phone when finished.
For security reasons, we strongly suggest you DO NOT send the W-9 to BCHS in an email.

Some events are open to students over 16 years of age. This information will be available when you sign up for the event.
