Transitioning into a New Year should be filled with hope and promise. It’s the ideal time for reflecting on our goals and prioritizing what is important. Take a moment to review your present situation. Where do you go from here? Decide what truly matters and you will find the answers-ask if you need assistance. DIPLOMA!?! COLLEGE!?! MILITARY!?! CAREER?!! Plan NOW for your future success.

What’s In Your Wallet?

Hopefully you completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) back in October. That one application can determine if you qualify for monies from most federal and state agencies. You/ YOUR PARENTS can use your 2019 tax returns which are necessary for completing the FAFSA. Sign and submit the FAFSA as soon as possible to improve your chances of receiving aid from as many sources as possible. You can find the FAFSA online at fafsa. . Be sure that you have gotten you FSA ID before starting. Find out if you need to also complete CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE for competitive colleges that require it.
