It is always a good idea to apply to lots of colleges because at this point in your journey, you just don't know what offers you may get and how your plans may change as time goes on. Your local campuses are a great place to establish acceptance or your safety school.

Most schools require you to have a FAFSA submission completed before you enroll. This helps them determine how much aid you are eligible not only from the government, but also from their own pool of scholarship money. Even students who will not qualify for any form of Federal Aid through the FAFSA can be awarded money from their school just for COMPLETING THE FAFSA; so don't skip this process! Step one of the FAFSA process is establishing your Log In credentials to complete the form. FAFSA really isn't so complicated, and we are here to help you break it down so it's ready for you when you need it! In case you haven't already established your login, here is a helpful video to walk you through the process. Then you can cross this To-Do off your list!!!
