The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is the form used when applying for financial aid. This is the
first step in the financial aid process. The forms cannot be mailed out before January 1, 2010 if you plan to attend
college in the fall of 2010. The forms usually arrive in December. They will be made available at that time.
COLLEGE APPLICATIONS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
Your Counselor will help you with your college and scholarship applications. The colleges and
national organizations usually have their application deadlines in the fall and local organizations
are in the spring. Read carefully for all criteria and deadlines. Not doing so could cost you a
scholarship or deny your entry to the college of your choice. If you would like us to mail your
scholarship applications, please turn them in to the Guidance Office at least five days prior
to the date they are due to their destination.
