Financial Aid

This is a very important announcement for those of you who are trying to qualify for financial aid to attend college. In order to obtain financial aid, your parents MUST fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) based on their 2007 income tax return information starting in January 2008. We are no longer receiving this in paper form because they want you to fill out the form online. If you and your parents do not have access to a computer, you may obtain a paper FAFSA by calling 1-800-433-3243 (1-800-4-FED-AID).
You may also access the form now in PDF format by going to www.FederalStudentAid.ed.gov. You will NOT qualify for any financial aid [including scholarships offered from the colleges and universities] until this form has been filled out. The following websites are extremely valuable in your search for financial assistance with college:
