College Fair - FAFSA Meeting- Conferences

Parents and students,

Thursday November 1st we will have a great night of information for you and your future!  The college fair will be from 4:30 - 6:00 pm in the gym.  We will have a FAFSA information meeting from 6:00 - 7:15 in the HS cafeteria.  Conferences will also run that night from 4:00 to 7:45 in teacher classrooms.

Just a few notes, the FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.  It is necessary to fill this out to receive any financial aide.  It is best to get this filled out as soon as your tax information is complete after the first of the year.  The earlier you apply, the better your chances of receiving a good package.  You can put several colleges on your application and your FAFSA information will be sent to all of the schools. 

For the college fair we will have several colleges represented and branches of the armed services.  It is a great chance to gain information about prospective colleges.  If you and your student ever have questions about college selection do not hesitate to contact Mrs. Clark. College websites have also become very good.  There is an abundance of information including virtual tours, online applications and all sorts of different FAQs.  Encourage your student to learn as much as they can about any and all colleges that they have interest in.  That will be the best way for you and your student to make an informed decision. 

Conferences will be on Thursday and Tuesday night from 4:00 to 7:45.  Please make plans to attend.  Some parents like to bring their students along, some do not either way is fine with us.  We hope to see all of you on Thursday November 1st or Tuesday November 6th.
