Seniors! What are your plans after high school? If you’re planning on going to college, you should be thinking about applying soon. Most colleges have early acceptance deadlines, as well as their general application deadlines. If you’re wanting to apply early, you should start now. Most colleges have early application deadlines around the end of October.
As far as financial aid goes, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to start looking into what all you will need when it comes time to fill out your FASFA. You can’t fill it out until January, but you can make sure you’re prepared when the time comes. There will be a financial aid night here at the high school in either December or January. You can also apply for many different scholarships. Colleges will often offer you different scholarships based on your academics after you apply. However, you can also apply to many other scholarships for clubs, sports, and academics. You can talk with your advisors and coaches to find out more about these scholarships, or even look online.
As you can tell, there’s a lot to do if you’re planning on going to college. However, if you start your planning now, the process will be much less stressful and you will have an advantage over late applicants. You can talk with Mrs. Wenzel if you have any questions about how and when to apply to colleges and for more information on different scholarships.
