Families of 2027 Graduating Seniors,
If your student is looking at attending a community college, 4 year college/university, trade school or any learning institution after graduation, please know that completing the Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Colorado Application for Student Aid (CAFSA) is an important step to help your student finance attending these institutions. Many of these schools require the application to offer scholarships through their institutions.
Completing the FAFSA will also apply to possible Federal grants, work study programs or loans that can assist your student in meeting their educational goals. Please know that after completing the application, you will receive financial aid information that you can choose to accept or decline.
Please find a resource that includes videos that may help you complete the FAFSA forms and direct links to the applications. The sooner you complete the application the better.
If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Shea.
