Information about financial aid for college is available in the guidance office. An evening financial aid seminar for students and parents is offered each fall. Students are advised to begin searching for sources of aid in the spring of their junior year. ALL students planning to attend a college, university, or trade school should complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after January 1 of their senior year.
