FAFSA- OPENS EVERY YEAR ON OCTOBER 1! If you plan to attend college, career tech or a technical school, you need to apply.
FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) will open 10/01/2022. It's important that your Senior Student complete the application to be eligible for financial aid. Even if a student will not qualify for grants, many scholarships require the completion of FAFSA before rewarding other assistance to students.
If you copy and paste the link below, you will be directed to the Federal Aid website. There are two power point presentation links under Attachments which are guides to help you complete FAFSA with your senior student. FAFSA requires personal information and is something that must be completed at home with the person who claims them on income taxes.
I am available as a resource for you to complete FAFSA as timely as possible.

CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT
Want to try out college before leaving high school? Consider signing up for concurrent enrollment. If you are in 11th or 12th grade and have made good grades throughout school or scored well on the ACT or SAT, you might consider taking credit-earning college courses while still in high school. You can enroll in college courses if you meet one of the admission requirements listed on the provided tables and other conditions listed below.
High school seniors who meet the eligibility requirements are entitled to receive tuition waivers for up to 18 credit hours and high school juniors can receive tuition waivers up to 9 credit hours, subject to available funding.
All concurrent students must have a signed statement from the high school principal or counselor stating that they are eligible to satisfy requirements for graduation from high school (including curricular requirements for college admission) no later than the spring of the senior year and must also provide written permission from a parent or legal guardian. A high school student may enroll in a combined number of high school and college courses per semester not to exceed a full-time college workload of 19 semester credit hours. For purposes of calculating workload, one-half high school unit is equivalent to three semester credit hours of college work.
Also, concurrent students may not enroll in remedial (zero-level) course work offered by colleges and universities designed to remove high school deficiencies, including co-requisite support courses order for concurrent students to enroll in a college-level course, they must earn a minimum score in that particular subject area to show college readiness. A high school student who doesn't earn the minimum score in science reasoning, mathematics or English won't be allowed to enroll in those college subject areas. A student who doesn't earn the minimum score in reading will not be allowed to enroll in any other collegiate course (outside the subjects of science, mathematics and English). Concurrent enrollment students may not enroll in any form of developmental education, including co-requisite support courses. A concurrent student will be eligible to enroll based on the criteria detailed in the chart below.
