Parents and Seniors,

We hope you found the information presented this past Monday, 12/9/13, by Mr. Orantes helpful. The entire presentation has been added to the document folder in Naviance for your reference.

In January, we will host another evening opportunity this time for families who would like assistance completing the FAFSA. Stay tuned for that date!

In the interim, don't forget to utilize the following resources for scholarships and learning more about the financial aid process:

• Naviance Scholarship Page: Updated regularly by a member of our team

• Finaid.org: A comprehensive site

• Fastweb.com: HUGE scholarship database

• Employers: Parents, check with the Human Resources manager for any available scholarships

• Local Government: If we are alerted we will post these opportunities on Naviance, but check out the post office or civic organizations in your town

• Net Price Calculator: although it is mandated by the federal government, not every one is accurate, but it is a good place to start for each college/university.

• CSS Profile(profileonline.collegeboard.com): This is an additional form that is required by some, not all colleges.

As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to your primary counselor with questions and/or concerns.

Your College Counseling Team
