The
Financial Aid Information Night
has been rescheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 3, at 7 p.m., in the Library. Please plan to attend to learn about the FAFSA form and financial aid process from a representative of Villanova's Financial Aid Office.
Guidance has begun seeing our students. We visited all of the freshman theology classes to introduce ourselves and set up College Board accounts. We emailed all of the students regarding who their counselors are. We wanted to inform you as well of some changes to the counselor assignments for this year. Counselors are now assigned by alphabet, not homeroom, and most students have a primary and a secondary counselor. Primary counselors have started sending for their students individually. Counselor assignments are as follows:
All Maguire, Neumann, Connelly, St. John Vianney, Drexel Neumann, and Chappell Culpepper Scholars and all International students have Sister Marianna Fieo as their counselor.

On Wednesday, Oct. 10, 2018, the PSAT/NMSQT will be administered to the juniors and sophomores and the PSAT 8/9 will be administered to the freshmen. Research studies show that familiarity with standardized tests help students perform better on them. With this in mind, we administer the test each year when College Board offers it. There is no make-up for this test so we encourage students to attend school that day to take the test and to be on time. Students should bring #2 pencils and a calculator for the testing. Scores will be returned electronically by College Board. They no longer send paper score reports. It is important that students use the email address associated with their College Board account on their answer sheets to avoid issues with viewing their scores.
Seniors and their parents are reminded that the FAFSA form can be submitted beginning Monday, Oct. 1, 2018, and must be filed prior to the individual colleges' deadlines. Those deadlines vary from school to school so seniors are encouraged to research deadlines and submit the form as early as possible. The form may be accessed online at
www.fafsa.ed.gov
. This is a free form based on the 2017 income tax information. Please be sure to use the correct website as similar sites exist but will charge you to submit the form.
