Local students who prefer to commute do not pay for lodging.

Once you have completed the registration form for HSJI, you will be directed to a payment form. Both forms must be completed before your space is reserved.
You may pay immediately with a credit card or choose to pay later by logging back into the payment system or mailing a check. You can also pay later if you are applying for a scholarship or if someone else, such as your school, is paying on your behalf.
Scholarship opportunities
HSJI offers two scholarship opportunities for eligible students: Multicultural Scholarships and the Bloomington Press Club Scholarship.
