Class of 2020

Texas college tuition costs on average $10,584 per year (this does NOT include living expenses)! Here are 2 easy ways that your student can get FREE money to help pay for college:

FAFSA

It is now a Texas Law that every graduating senior must fill out the FAFSA. And why wouldn’t you? It’s a FREE application for FREE money from the government to help you pay for college! Awards are given out on a financial needs basis and on a first come first served basis. If you have a student graduating this year or a student that is already in college, be sure to get this filled out NOW!!! Check out the Guthrie Counselor’s page for helpful tips and tricks when filling out the FAFSA! You can also visit with the financial aid office at your college for more information.


Scholarships

There are lots of Scholarship applications that students can be filling out NOW!!! Don’t wait until the Spring. Also, ask your local agencies that you do business with to see if they offer any scholarships (ex. Capital Farm Credit offers scholarships to local students, but you must talk to your local office for an application).
