FROM YOUR COUNSELOR

Seniors & Parents,


The FAFSA deadline is fast approaching to qualify for the PROMISE Scholarship as well as the WV Higher Education Grant. I cannot stress enough the importance of completing your FAFSA by March 1st. Most ALL financial aid, grants, scholarships, etc. are based on the results of this document.

I am available by appointment during and after school to help you fill out your FAFSA. I feel that we have gotten behind because of snow days and the March 1st deadline is swiftly approaching. I encourage you to begin the FAFSA forms at home and get as much information into the form as you can. If you don’t have your 2010 tax return completed, you may use last year’s figures to estimate income. I highly recommend that you begin your FAFSA as soon as possible (TODAY)! You may save your work and go back to make corrections.

Since you are on the internet RIGHT NOW, you might want to access the website at www.fafsa.ed.gov to begin your FAFSA. Remember, the deadline is MARCH 1, 2010! Don’t delay!

If you have already completed your FAFSA - - GREAT JOB. Look for your balloon on the poster in the front hall.

Let me know how I can help,
