College financial aid program set for Nov. 9

A financial aid program will be held at in the distance learning lab at Creek Valley High School on Monday, Nov. 9, at 5:30 p.m. A professional from the EducationQuest Foundation will discuss how to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This is the form all colleges require of the student before they are eligible to receive any financial assistance.

All parents/guardians of senior or junior students are invited to attend. The FAFSA needs to be filled out as soon as an income tax return for 2015 is completed.

Many college applications need to be mailed no latter than Jan. 15 to be eligible for that particular college’s scholarships. Please check this date with the college.
