Are you a senior?? If so, pay CLOSE attention, this information pertains to you! Whether you are planning to attend post-secondary education or not, you MUST complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). There are a few steps you must follow. Ms. Munoz and Ms. Perez will be going into your Civics and Econ classes to explain the process and what financial aid is.

Here is a little glimpse of what it is:

• The FAFSA application is an official application provided by the US Department of Education that is filled out online by students and parent(s)/guardian(s). This application helps with financial assistance for trade schools, junior college, CSU/UC, career school, etc.
• Once filled out, it calculates how much aid you can get from the federal goverment, state programs, and the colleges.
• It does require yearly renewal
