Schoology Training
On January 20, 2022, Kenneth Daigre, Instructional Technology Supervisor, conducted an outstanding Schoology and Home Access Center training for parents. Parents learned how to navigate both systems to access their child's grades, view assignments, check absences, receive grade notifications, and so much more. A huge "Thank You" to Mr. Daigre for supporting the TITANS Virtual Parent Academy.
Federal Student Aid For College
Apply Online
What is the FAFSA and How Does it Work?
Before each year of college, apply for federal grants, work-study, and loans with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form. Your college uses your FAFSA data to determine your federal aid eligibility. Many states and colleges use FAFSA data to award their own aid.
Students do not have to repay grants or scholarships, which are considered gift aid. Student loans, on the other hand, must be repaid, usually with interest. Federal student loans may be subsidized or unsubsidized.
The 2022-23 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) has been launched. New and returning students who plan to attend college between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023, should complete the FAFSA as soon as possible. To assist students and parents in the process, the Department’s Federal Student Aid (FSA) office has been sharing tips @FAFSA, including “7 Things You Need Before Filling Out the FAFSA Form”.
FSA continues to take steps to make it easier to complete and submit the FAFSA form. For example:
- Students’ prior drug convictions, as well as registration status with Selective Service, no longer affect their federal student aid eligibility.
- FAFSA.gov is even easier to navigate to get help and information, with an entirely new look.
