Each senior is expected to submit a portrait and quote. They may use their own words, or a quote from someone they admire. If a portrait is not submitted, their ID photo will be substituted. If a quote is not submitted, the allotted space will be left blank.

FAFSA Night - Message from the counselors
Our FAFSA night was a big success! Thank you to Terri Beeson from TRiO for leading our FAFSA night, and thanks also to our Americorps Member - Alex McArthur, FALA Seniors, and FALA families for working on FAFSA completion. We are excited to announce that we already have a 32% FAFSA completion rate for our seniors! Our goal for this year is 100% completion.

Every senior should complete the FAFSA, even if you do not think your family will qualify for financial aid. Federal Student Aid is responsible for managing the student financial assistance programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 . These programs provide grants, loans, and work-study funds to students attending college or career school.

The FAFSA is the NUMBER ONE critical step in applying for financial aid. Over 80% of all student financial assistance is provided by the federal government, totaling over $150 billion each year. Additionally, the FAFSA is often required to determine student eligibility for state aid, private scholarships or other financial assistance offered by individual colleges, universities, or institutions.

If you missed the FALA FAFSA Night, there is another event coming up: NACRC FAFSA Night : Monday, November 5th, 5:00PM - 8:00PM at the Downton Library.

The FALA School Counseling Website is a great resource for college related info and events.
