Seniors-Quick Reminders:
Four year college applicants: watch your mail for admissions notices, financial aid info, etc. Review all your emails to be sure you are not missing anything.
Community college applicants: If you are planning to apply to community colleges, you should be doing this NOW! Most of the colleges have online applications that are simple to complete. Local colleges:
Mt. Sac: www.mtsac.edu
Rio Hondo: www.riohondo.edu
Citrus: www.citruscollege.edu
Fullerton College: www.fullcoll.edu
Pasadena City College: www.pasadena.edu
Fullerton, Mt. Sac, and Pasadena all use the same system, so when you finish the one application, it will "pre-populate" for the new college. You can apply to more than one community college! Use Spring Break to visit campuses. They all have great programs to help you transfer or complete an A.A. and career degrees.
REMEMBER-after you finish applying, you must take the placement test on campus. They will email you the information, After the test, you can register for classes.
This Thursday, March 20th and Friday, March 21st during period 4 and 5 in A18, we will have workshops on completing these applications. Please start at home, and we will check them before submitting.
Financial Aid Update:
If you completed the FAFSA, watch your email and regular mail for CAL grant information. If you did not finish your FAFSA, it's not too late! Community college students can qualify for the "2nd change" CAL grant in September as well as the Federal Pell Grant. Get a FAFSA worksheet from the Guidance Office or K4 and log on to fafsa.ed.go to get it filed. Work on it during Spring Break and we'll check it when we return. (Watch out for SCAM sites like fafsa.com-THE FAFSA IS FREE!)
ALSO- CHECK THE SCHOLARSHIP BOX IN K4 FOR NEW SCHOLARSHIPS! FREE MONEY!
Watch out for Senioritis! Keep working hard. The end is in sight. Questions?? Please see your counselor.
