Senior Seminar – FAFSA Workshop – October 28, 6 – 8 pm

by sragusa | Sep 26, 2025 | Parent News, School News

Mark your calendar. Our next Senior Seminar is October 28 from 6 – 8 pm. This will be a workshop for FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). In the meantime, I will be working with your seniors to create their FSA account as that is the first step.

Please sign up using the promo at the bottom of this message or click this link.

Why You Should Fill Out the FAFSA (Even If You Think You Don’t Need It)

Free Money (Grants): You could get federal grants like the Pell Grant — money you don’t have to pay back.
Work-Study Jobs: Part-time jobs on or near campus that help you earn money while you’re in school.
Federal Loans: Lower interest rates and better repayment options than private loans. Some are available no matter your income.

More Aid from Your State & School

State Scholarships/Grants: Many states use FAFSA info to decide who gets aid — and it’s often first-come, first-served.
College Aid: Schools use FAFSA to build your financial aid package, including scholarships. Some even require it for merit-based awards.

Smart Planning & Backup Options

Emergency Help: If your family’s financial situation changes (job loss, illness, etc.), having a FAFSA on file means you can still get help.
More Time to Decide: Filing early means you get your aid offers sooner — giving you time to compare schools and plan ahead.
Easier Next Time: Once you do it the first year, renewing it each year is way faster.
