Seniors- FAFSA Alert!!!!

FAFSA is opening October 1st, which means it’s time to start thinking about financial aid!

Join us for Financial Aid Night at Midwest Central High School:

Wednesday, September 30th
5:30 PM
HS Library

We are hosting this the night before FAFSA officially opens so you can get the information you need, understand the process, and hopefully have a little more mental security when it’s time to sit down and complete it.

And if you’d rather fill it out with some help, we’ve got you covered!

Wednesday, October 7th
5:30 PM
HS Library

Our ISAC representative will be back for a FAFSA Working Session! Bring your questions, your laptop, and your information, and you can work through the FAFSA with someone there to help you along the way.

September 30 = Learn & Prepare
October 7 = Work on FAFSA Together

One Click College Admit

Juniors & Seniors, have you heard of One Click College Admit? It is a free tool that helps make the college application process a little easier! Students can explore colleges, see where they may be a good fit, and discover colleges that offer direct admission...meaning you may be accepted without completing the traditional application process. It’s a great way to explore your options and potentially find colleges you may not have considered. One click could open the door to your next chapter!
