Seniors – Don’t forget you should be working on your FAFSA if
you have not submitted it yet. This is a very important step in getting money
for college.
Seniors
Remember to check with your college financial aid office to see if they need any
financial aid vertification documents. If you need me to help you, stop by my
office. You will not get any financial aid until you have provided all the
documents that the college
requires.
