ALL students who are considering attending college or any educational institution after high school should file a FAFSA (FREE Application for Federal Student Aid).
There has been a recent change to the FAFSA process. Filing now opens on October 1st and the deadline in Indiana is April 15th. The most significant change is that the FAFSA will be based on taxes that are already filed. For example: this year's seniors aid will be based on family's taxes filed the previous year.
We will host a financial aid night on September 26th at 6:00pm at BHSS in LGR to help families with the FAFSA and to answer common questions. This event will be lead by a college financial aid expert.
FAFSA is done online at https://fafsa.ed.gov/

As always, see your counselor with questions.
