College and Scholarship Information

College

Anytime can be a good time to make the decision to head for college after you graduate (it is really never to late), but is there a "right" time? The answer is yes. The ideal time to start thinking about college options, selection, and majors is 9th grade, but that isn't realistic for all of you. By 11th grade, you should have a pretty good idea of your after school plans. If college is in the cards, review this slide show for tips and tricks along the way.

Free Application for Federal Student Aid -- If you are going to college and want money, you must fill this out. We will have workshops in the Spring of each school year and letters will go out to all Seniors indicating the date and time. In the mean time, get familiar with what FAFSA does. http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/
