How do I pay for college?!

  • There are many options when it comes to paying for college.

    Both Financial Aid and Scholarships can help!

     

    Financial Aid

     What is the FAFSA?

    • The FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is a form available annually to all prospective and current college students to determine their eligibility for aid.

    How do I fill it out?

    What information will I need?

    • For all students planning to attend college during the 2023-2024 school year, 2021 tax/income information is required.

    What's the deadline?

    • The FAFSA is available on October 1, 2022. Most financial aid is on a first-come, first-served basis, so students are encouraged to prepare and file as close to opening day (October 1, 2022) as possible.

    Scholarships

    Scholarships are made available to students as they are received. We will make occasional announcements about local scholarships as they become available. The following organizations have notified our office about available scholarships. Most applications are available through a link to a website or form. If no website is listed, applications will be available in the counseling office as they come in. Some applications must be returned to the counseling center once completed, Mrs. Myers will turn in your application to the scholarship association. This list is comprised of national, state, and local scholarships.

    *Be sure to check out the college or university to which you have applied. Many institutions offer scholarships based on majors, academics, etc.
