FINANCIAL AID WORKSHOP

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4TH AT 5:30 PM IN AUDITORIUM

You will be able to complete your FAFSA on this night.

Documents you need

FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)

FAFSA is an application that all college students (and their parent/guardian) are encouraged to complete. This application allows students to be considered for grants (FREE money), loans, and work-study funds that can help fund their college education.

Filing is delayed this year, but just like college applications, we recommend students and their parent/guardian file your FAFSA application early. We are told filing should be possible for all schools starting December 1st.

 If you and your parent(s)/guardian(s) want more information and/or help with this process we will be having a Financial Aid Workshop on Wednesday, December 4th at 5:30pm (starting in the auditorium and then moving to the computer lab). You can complete your application on the 4th with help from a financial aid professional, so please watch for the sign up to come if interested! 

 Documents you need

Create StudentAid.gov Account - Make one for you & parent/guardian (need separate emails for each account)

 If you are new to FAFSA or want some resources here are some helpful tools (all are FREE):
