They have been given time in class to search, review, and apply for scholarships. Please encourage them to use available time for this in any of their classes.

I have put together a Google Doc of colleges/universities with scholarship information. I focused on ATU-Ozark, ATU-Russellville, UAFS, and University of Arkansas. This is available in the link below.

Scholarship Information

FAFSA

One of the biggest tasks for you and your senior will be completing the FAFSA. The release was delayed because the system went through a major revamping. Any senior who is planning to attend or thinking about attending college anywhere, must complete the FAFSA.

Before FAFSA Night, please make sure you and your senior have FAFSA accounts set up. You will not be able to get a lot of help that night if it has not been set up.

You will also need to have your 2022 tax information. You can set up an account on the IRS website to link your tax information instead of having to bring hard copies.

If you are not able to attend on February 5, your senior will need to contact a financial aid advisor at their chosen college or university to get assistance.

**In order for this workshop to make, we need to have 5 - 10 seniors/parents who plan to attend.**

Register to Attend FAFSA Work Night on February 5

Seniors and Community Service

Please visit with your senior regarding Community Service. I recommend sitting down with your senior and discussing activities that they have done since the 9th grade. If it was an activity done through an organization or event at school, it is most likely recorded.

April 5 and April 6: Miss Mountainburg Youth Pageants and Miss Mountainburg Pageant

Seniors will help me with set up in the gym and helping at the pageant, if needed.
Seniors also provide the concession stand. This money goes into the class account.
I will need parents to help with the concession stand. Seniors are asked to stock it so that everything made is profit.
