The 2023-24 FAFSA is now open for Seniors. This is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Please use this website: https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. We will have a school-day event for assistance on November 17 if you need further instruction.
Remember that the FAFSA opens tomorrow for Seniors who plan to attend college in summer or fall semester(s). If you want to go ahead and get it done, you may, but we will schedule a FAFSA event in November for those who need more support.
