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

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

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.
