FAFSA
Your FAFSA is one of the most important things to complete for college bound students. Colleges require this to be completed BEFORE you can apply for their scholarships. The portal will open on October 1st, 2017. It is based on your income taxes from 2015. You can go ahead and complete your FAFSA ID so that you will be ready when the portal opens. The earlier you complete, the more likely you are to receive funding.
