FAFSA Completion Workshop

Academic and College Counseling is hosting a FAFSA Completion Workshop on November 6 and 8 for senior families who would like assistance completing this financial aid application. FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid and is used by all post-secondary institutions receiving federal aid and even many outside of the country.

If needed, parents are welcome to bring in their 2018 tax forms and we will help complete the application fully. Before coming, please make sure both parent and student create an FSA ID.

Please sign up here to attend the workshop. You may contact Jay McCann with questions.
