Seniors and senior parents,
On Wednesday, January 12th, from 5:00 to 8:00PM we will be having a senior scholarship night at the high school library. This one will be a little different then normal because Jodi from EducationQuest will be coming in and helping students and parents with their free application for federal student aid (FAFSA). For a lot of scholarships students need a FAFSA done, so it is important that students and parents both set up a FAFSA account and go through the process. The FAFSA will get you a expected family contribution (EFC) number which shows how much a family can help or not help a student pay for college. So then students EFC can qualify students for finical aid like grants, work study, scholarships and loans.
Jodi is a pro at the FAFSA process and can really make the process easier and save you a trip to Kearney. So please try and make it tomorrow, Wednesday the 12th in the high school library between 5:00-8:00PM to have Jodi help you. When you come it shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes to get your account set up.
