The FAFSA deadline is this Tuesday, March 2nd. Yesterday was our last FAFSA workshop-congrats to those who completed it! You need to apply on your own and have your counselor check it. Go to fafsa.ed.gov (not com!) and use your parents' tax information from 2008 or 2009. Get it done!
Scholarship season has started! The scholarship box in K4 is full! Start coming by during 8th period or at lunch. Deadlines vary from March through May. Two and Four year college students can apply.
CSU Applicants
Be sure you have taken the EPT/ELM test if needed. Students who haven't finished by March may be dropped from admission. Go online to register-Cal Poly has a March 20 test.
All four year applicants, be sure you sent your test scores to campuses! Read everything you are sent-emails, letters, etc. Some schools (CSUF) expect you to build a portal to check for info. This does not come to the counselors. You have to check often!
Community College Applicants
Fall applications for most community colleges start at the end of March. Most are online. The sooner you apply, the better your chances of getting classes! All of the colleges are impacted now.
UC Berkeley and CSU Fullerton will be visiting in March. Dates will be posted on Monday. Teacher permission is required.
Use Spring Break to visit colleges. Most campuses will be open while we are on vacation. Visit both two and four year colleges to help you decide which school is best for you.
