a currently paid member of the NLHS Sports Boosters, be a Banner Sponsor or a Corporate

If you plan to attend a technical school, community college, or four-year university, please consider completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).

Even if you think your family will not qualify for financial aid, submitting the FAFSA is still extremely important. Many scholarships, grants, and subsidized student loans require a completed FAFSA in order to be eligible.

✅ Completing the FAFSA keeps all financial aid options open.
✅ It may qualify you for scholarships and lower-interest loans.
✅ Some schools require it for merit-based awards.

We strongly encourage every senior planning to continue their education after high school to complete the FAFSA.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are happy to help! Thank you!
