Dear Parents,
In order to receive financial aid in the form or loans, grants, or scholarships, students need to complete the free application for student aid, also known as FAFSA. Even students who do not plan on needing financial aid should complete the application as it may give them access to scholarships they otherwise would not have access to. Please work together with your student to complete the application as soon as possible as FAFSA money is first come first served! If you need assistance in completing the application, please contact the counselors. Thank you!
