COUNSELING/CAREER CENTER

SENIORS FILLING OUT FINANCIAL AID FORMS--IF IT IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS!

As you and your parents/guardians are filling out the FAFSA for post high school financial aid, be sure that you are using FAFSA.gov website--which is free. If you are using FAFSA.com, and/or if anyone is charging you money to give you money, chances are its a scam. Check it out thoroughly before sending in any fee or any paperwork. If you have any questions or concerns, you can always talk to your school counselor IN ADVANCE of signing anything, paying anything or sending anything in via web or regular mail. W. Krakauer

SENIORS, WE NEED YOUR BRING IN STAMPED ADDRESSED ENVELOPES FOR FIRST SEMESTER GRADES BY 1/25/08 FOR MANY COLLEGE APPLICATIONS - Seniors, if you have applied to private colleges or public colleges that are asking for your first semester senior grades (mid year reports), please bring in to the counseling office stamped envelopes, addressed to the college admissions office, WITH YOUR NAME WRITTEN ON THE ENVELOPE IN A VISIBLE LOCATION, for each private college or public college specifically asking for first semester senior grades (e.g. UW does not want first semester grades, no UC college wants first semester grades, if you are applying to any college after mid February they will get first semester grades when you send your high school transcript). We need these stamped, addressed envelopes by 1/25/08, so that as soon as we get first semester grades entered and academic histories printed, we can get your mid year reports in the mail (our goal is to get all first semester grades out prior to mid winter break). See your counselor if you have any questions. W.Krakauer
