Welcome to your senior year! Through this newsletter, I hope to keep everyone updated on what seniors should be doing at this time.

• If you want to apply to college, figure out where you want to apply and start working on applications. They take longer than you think!
• If you want to go into the workforce, start researching what career fields you would be interested in applying for jobs. Start contacting potential employers and making a resume.
• If you want to join the military, I can connect you with a recruiter. Just let me know!
  

All students have been added to my Schoology group! This group has tons of resources about applying to college, getting financial aid, scholarships, etc.

During College Application Week, you'll be able to work with me to answer all your questions about applications! More information will be coming out - stay tuned!

Colleges will be meeting with CRHS students in the building to discuss their programs and answer any questions students have! This is an excellent way to connect with admissions counselors at schools.

All visits are at 1:30 PM in Mr. Ireland's Room. Sign up with Ms. Reed!

In October, the Free Application for Student Financial Aid (FASFA) will open. ALL STUDENTS SHOULD COMPLETE THIS PROCESS. It doesn't matter how much your parents and/or you make. This is the first step in helping paying for college.

FASFA requires a lot of financial information, so start getting that information together soon.

You'll receive a Student Aid Report that gives your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). This number helps determine what grants and loans you may qualify for as well as information about that aid. When the state of Maryland reviews your EFC, it will offer you other grants and loans as well.

Scholarships will help you pay for whatever isn't covered by the loans and grants you may receive through financial aid. Ms. Reed will email information about scholarships as she receives them. Apply to as many as you can!

Applying to college is a complicated process, so College Board has created a program that guides you through it. This scholarship program is open to all students, and it doesn't require an essay, application, or minimum GPA. Instead, it rewards your effort and initiative. Complete key steps along your path to college for a chance to earn scholarships.
