Finacial Aid Workshop

Happy New Year! We're in the last few weeks of the Fall Semester! It goes fast from here until graduation. We are starting off the year with a Financial Aid Workshop. Seniors can start officially filing FAFSA forms. The deadline to file the FAFSA for CAL grant consideration is March 2nd. To get started on your FASA, visit http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. Make sure it's the government's Financial Aid web site, because there are a lot of "scam" sites out there. Never pay for help with filling out your FAFSA!! We are here to help.

The Financial Aid Workshop will be held on Wednesday, January 13th at 6:00pm in the Manor (English) and the Little Theater (Spanish).

We look forward to seeing you there!
