FAFASA/CADAA DEADLINE - MARCH 2ND, 2022
Class of 2022: I submitted my FAFSA, now what?
1. Create a Webgrants4Students Account
WGS will allow you to manage your Cal Grant and/or Chafee account(s) online by letting you:
- View Updates
- Make Address Changes
- Make Corrections
- Make School Changes
It is important for you to understand that your WGS account does not replace your School or FAFSA accounts. Each account must be monitored and managed independently.
2. Watch your school portals
You will be getting lots of information through each school portal for the schools that you applied to. Be sure to log into them weekly to see if there are any "to dos." Also, watch your emails for any "to dos." Do not miss deadlines because it may cost you admissions. Know that your admissions decisions will come in ahead of your financial aid packages. In fact, financial aid packages may not be in for weeks. Remember to wait until you have all decisions and packages before making a decision. Most schools do not require a decision until May 1st. If you need help understanding your packages, do not hesitate to see your school counselor at lunch or Ms. Villalobos in the College & Career Center (Room 303).
3. Don’t wait until you receive your financial aid offer. Continue applying for scholarships.
Many schools may not be able to fulfill your financial need. You’ll need a way to pay the difference between the financial aid your school offers and what the school costs. There are thousands of scholarships, but deadlines vary. Make scholarship applications your focus while you wait for your financial aid offer. The applications may take some time, but the possible payout makes it all worth it. If you need help, see your school counselor or Ms. Villalobos in the College & Career Center (Room 303).
Grade Level Course Selection
During the month of January, all Centennial Students were provided with registration presentations that covered high school graduation requirements, post-high school planning, and course selection information. They were informed of the courses offered during the following school year. Following the grade level presentations, students have had the opportunity to input the courses that they desire for the following school year. The course selection for students ended on Friday, February 4th through Student Connect, but do not fear. If a student missed the opportunity to input the courses they most desire, a student's school counselor will meet with each student to review their Individual Learning Plan (ILP) through their English courses. School counselors value the one to one support that we offer students as they explore their post-secondary aspirations and match them to their ILPs. If, after multiple attempts to reach the student, a student is unable to complete their ILP course requests, then the counselor will select courses for him/her/them. We continue to encourage students to sit with their parents and/or guardians to select the courses they prefer prior to meeting with the school counselor. Please encourage your students to see their school counselor at lunch (no appointment needed) should they have questions about the planning process.
