FAFSA Opens October 1st

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application window will open October 1st for current seniors and parents planning on attending post secondary education institutions in the fall of 2023. Some need-based aid is based on a first come first served basis, so we encourage you to complete the FAFSA early. The head of household filing taxes as well as the student applying for Federal Student Aid both need an individual FAFSA ID prior to completing the FAFSA.

Some schools also require the CSS Profile as a part of their financial aid application. This allows the colleges to look at additional information that is not available on the FAFSA in an effort to offer the best financial aid package for your student.

For more information on the FAFSA and other forms of financial aid, please join the Counseling Department on October 5th at 7:00pm in the cafeteria for our Paying for College Night. All parents are encouraged to attend.
