SENIORS AND SENIOR PARENTS
Fill out the FAFSA at the
RHS FAFSA Completion Night
TONIGHT! 6:00-8:00 in the Media Center
Financial Aid Advisors will be on hand to help you complete your
FAFSA accurately and completely.
Did you know that most colleges and universities require that you file a completed FAFSA to be eligible for institutional aid? And that aid application deadlines for many Florida universities are in December (some are even earlier, refer to each school's website for date)? Institutional aid is awarded on first come, first served basis, so filing your FAFSA early is your best bet to receive the most financial aid!
Both the student and a parent should create a FSA ID and collect all the documents noted before the FAFSA completion event!

Shadow at Robinson IB

Students registered to shadow are to report on their date to RHS by 9am. Drop off is in the Student Parking lot near the Auditorium. They will take part in a short presentation by some of the IB Faculty and students in the auditorium and will then pair up with a current IB student to experience a day in the IB World! Students will need to be picked up at 2pm at the Student Parking lot near the Auditorium (where dropped off). They will receive a letter to take back to their school proving their attendance for the day. Lunch can be brought from home or purchased from our school's nutrition service for $2.75. Students may want to bring a notepad and paper so they can write down important info or questions they have along the way. We're looking forward to meeting you!
