College/Scholarship Information

**Senior students who applied to college, filled out the FAFSA, and are waiting for their financial aid award letter, please be aware: Award letters will NOT be going out until April sometime from colleges. This letter breaks down the cost to attend a college and what financial assistance the college is willing to offer. This would include grants, scholarships, loans, and UNMET need amounts. Colleges will not be receiving your FAFSA information until March sometime. This may greatly affect your FAFSA if you need to edit your answers. This also means that the final decision and commitment window in choosing your college for the fall is narrower. As we receive updates, we will let you know.
