Financial Aid for ED/EA Applicants

We are sharing this information again this month as it is critically important to stay on top of deadlines! Requirements vary, and it is very important that you check and follow the policy set by each individual school. Some colleges require that you file the FAFSA and CSS/PROFILE as early as the application deadline.

If you cannot find the information on the school website (Admissions page, Tuition and Fees, or Financial Aid page), call the Financial Aid office directly.

Seniors:

You are doing a great job, just keep up the momentum until all applications are submitted.

Juniors:

Please schedule your college needs assessment meeting so we can begin working on your preliminary list of schools.

Sophomores and Freshmen:

Keep up your grades and decide which activities you want to delve deeper in.

Sincerely,

Lisa, Beth and Abby
