FAFSA HELP NIGHT:
Monday, November 14th, 2016 from 5-8 pm in the H.S. library
Mac Turner from SCC will be here to help parents and students actually file their FAFSA. Come prepared with your 2015 income tax return information.
The earliest you can file a FAFSA for next school year is October 1 at www.fafsa.gov. Even though you may not think your son/daughter will qualify for any federal aid, it is strongly recommended that you file it anyway because many scholarships require it (even if they are not need-based).
