Email them to Mrs. Cupps or make a copy of the letter and drop it off in the Career Center.
Be Looking for Award Letters from Your Colleges
The letter or notification will come either in the U.S. postal or through the student's account with the college. It's important that seniors are looking at their email to see if an award has been made.
Families will be able to determine the affordability of the colleges based on the how much money is awarded to the senior.
Seniors will be able to accept or deny any aid (including loans) that they do want or do not want, based on the cost of going to a particular college.
Remember, each college's package will be different.
If you have not heard from a college by the end of March give the Financial Aid Office of that college a call!
