FAFSA Completion for Seniors
The FAFSA application is now a
graduation requirement for this year’s seniors due to House Bill 3. This application is needed to be eligible for the opportunity to receive lower costs associated with college and other scholarship opportunities. If you wish to opt out of the application, you may locate the opt out form in Skyward family access under Online Forms. Parents & students can both access the form if they would like to opt-out.
