Seniors
October is College Application Month! As the month comes to a close the process of applying to college and applying for financial aid will continue into the fall.
Our goal is for every senior to apply to at least one college, for FAFSA and for one scholarship.
Seniors once you have applied, submit you name at the link below so we can recognize you in our newsletter.
Congratulation to the below seniors who applied to college this month!

Every senior should complete the FAFSA with their family. Here's why...
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the form you need to fill out to get any financial aid from the federal government and the State of Michigan to help pay for college and other types of training.
