College Application Workshops
The Mills counselors are offering College Application Workshops from now through the end of November in the Career Center every Tuesday during 7th period and Wednesdays during Flex. Counselors will be available to help seniors with UC, CSU, private college and financial aid applications. Please encourage your student to take advantage of this extra support!
Need Money for College?
This week, counselors will go into senior Social Studies classes to teach about financial aid, and how to apply for money for college.
Parents of seniors should go online now to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid):
- Create an FSA ID -- one each for parent & student.
- Complete the FAFSA application using your 2018 income tax information.
- Recommended: Within the FAFSA, use the IRS Retrieval Tool to transfer data from your federal income tax returns.
Students applying to private colleges may also need to complete the
CSS Profile financial aid application. Check each college's financial aid website for details and deadlines.
