The next phase of the college application process is underway – filing for financial aid. I recommend that families access the FAFSA – Free Application For Student Aid – at www.fafsa.edu.gov The deadline for California is March 2, 2012. Grants, loans, work study are all filtered through the FAFSA. Scholarship information is available on the PHS College Center bulletin.
Students who will be attending community college in the Fall of 2012 will be filing applications as soon as the window opens. Community colleges are currently enrolling for Spring semester and online applications for Fall aren’t yet available. In addition to filing the application, students will register for math and English placement tests and the college orientation class. This will prepare them for class registration when schedules become available.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding you student’s post high school plans, I would be happy to meet with you or have a phone conversation.
