<DIV><FONT size=3><SPAN class=165200015-03032005>COSMOS is open to high
achieving 9th-12th graders, and we serve about 500 in the summer at four
different locations listed below. It is a wonderful life-changing
experience,,,our kids all say so. March 15 is fast approaching,,,takes
some time to do the application and get the paper mail ins together (two teacher
recommendations, grades, etc.) Hope we see more strong applicants from BHS
this year. Half our participants are usually female, broadly diverse, from
all over California and one third usually qualify for financial aid (waives the
whole tuition).<BR> </SPAN><BR><BR><I>Irene Bronston,
