Important items:
You can complete the FAFSA if you have a Social Security Number because you are a U.S. Citizen or have Permanent Resident Status. If you do not have a Social Security Number, you should not complete the FAFSA. There are resources to help pay for college. Please reach out to your counselor or to Mr. Parham with questions.
You need to have an FSA-ID. An FSA-ID is a personal account with the department of education. Ideally, one parent should also have an FSA-ID to make submission faster. If your parent does not have a SS#, then you can still submit a FAFSA. Find more info on the FSA-ID here.
It is best if you can collect your parent(s) 2020 income tax return. You need to know your household income to complete the FAFSA. This is usually done with the income tax return. If your parent(s) do not have a tax return, you can still complete the FAFSA. You will need to know how much money your parents made in 2020. You can find this with pay stubs, bank deposits, or by completing the estimated income section.
If you have a situation where you live with one parent but not the other, you only need to report financial data for the parent you lived with for the last 12 months.
If you have a more complicated home situation, it might be best to make an appointment with Mr. Parham, or talk to your counselor or Gear Up coach.

Transcript for self-reported grades
ACT or SAT scores are not needed for in-state schools but if your score is a good one, including it in your application doesn't hurt.
What is a good ACT or SAT score? Depends on the school. You can complete a quick Google search to see the average score for an incoming freshman. If your score is at or above that, probably worth including it. To repeat, Arizona schools are NOT requiring ACT or SAT scores.
Waiver or code for fee.
NAU is #NAU22

Specific deadlines are not included. I need you to be vocal about what you are thinking related to your plans after graduation. For example, if you are interested in going to ASU, their Raise.me scholarship is due by 9/1. Their application is open.
Please contact me! We can meet in person, on zoom or just communicate through email. Whatever works for you. It is important that I work individually with every one of you this semester.
Why College?
Why College?
It is NOT the only option. I want all students to have a clear path, whatever that is.
That said, people who earn college degrees, industry certifications or other advanced training tend to make more money and/or have more opportunity than people who immediately enter a full-time career after high school.
ESL programs at Pima are available at low, medium and high levels. These courses can be paid for with federal financial aid if you are a U.S. Citizen or if you have a green card with a social security number.
ESL programs at the U of A are through a language center called CESL. This is a transition program to help you with your English so that you can successfully move into your major classes.
