SENIORS - get help with your FAFSA application for financial aid!

SENIORS and families of seniors: If you are unsure of how to apply for financial aid, what’s needed, or what you could receive, you need to save the following dates:

Wed., Feb. 20, 2013, 6-7PM: Representatives from Rasmussen College will be on hand to discuss the specifics of the FAFSA, how the process works and what information you need to apply. Breakout sessions will follow the presentation to answer any questions you have.

Wed., Feb. 27, 2013, 5:30-7PM: Rasmussen’s reps return to work with their breakout groups to complete the FAFSA right here on campus! They will answer any questions you have along the way.

Both events will take place in our Media Center. Computer access will be provided to make the application event as seamless as possible. We know that completing paperwork that’s so important can be a bit intimidating. Hopefully, this two-part event will take the stress out of the process, and allow you and your student to focus on finishing senior year on a high note, and roll into life after Anclote! Please see Mr. Anderson with any questions.

Attention Seniors

Graduation is right around the corner!  Remember to pay for your cap and gown ($70).  Balfour will be on campus to accept payments on January 16th during both lunches.
