College acceptance season is in full swing! Wait until you get your financial aid award letters from all the colleges you are considering, then decide.

If you accept and pay the deposit, you will not get your money back if you end up changing your mind later. You have until June 1st, 2024, to decide, so do not rush. If you have questions, please contact Ms. Cindy or Ms. Currie in the College and Career Center.
If you plan to apply to college and have not filled out the FAFSA/WASFA yet, please get that done. If you need support, contact Ms. Cindy or Ms. Currie in the College and Career Center.
