FAFSA Night for Seniors and Parents: Wednesday, October 17th, 6:00 PM, @ FALA Room 16.

If you have a laptop, please bring it, however we will have computers available.

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. Filling out the FAFSA is also recommended for students who plan on taking a gap year.

Please go to the FALA School Counseling Website "College Events" to see the list of documents you should bring to FAFSA Night.
Volunteer Opportunity
FALA Communications
FALA is working on improving communications and is compiling a master list of contacts. This list will be comprised of any person who has shown an interest in FALA and has been a contact with us in one way or another (volunteer, donator, parent, alumni etc.)

Once we put all of our contacts into one list we will be able to more quickly and efficiently send out information.

As someone who is signed up to receive the Buzz, we would like to add you to our master contact list.

If you would NOT like to be added to the master contact list and are only interested in receiving the Buzz, please contact Brooke Phillips ( bphillips@flagarts.com ).
