GOAL: 100% FAFSA Submission by all LCHS Seniors
Completion of the FAFSA opens financial aid opportunities for students attending community colleges, vocational programs, and 4 year colleges and universities. Who doesn't want opportunities for grants, work study, or scholarships? If you have completed this already, then GREAT!
If you still need to do this, please follow these steps:
1. Check in with Mrs. Almeida in the Career Center or your counselor
2. Create an FSA ID here.
3. Visit the Federal Student Aid website. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
The deadline for priority enrollment has passed. However, do NOT let this stop you from completing the form and having the opportunity to earn free money! Students attending any Community College in California, you have until September 2nd to complete the FAFSA application. Students still have the opportunity to earn aid for universities in California as well such as Pell Grant, loans, and CSU institutional grants like the SUG, only if the university is still taking late applicants.
