October is the when you can start applying for financial aid. This is a critical step your senior year. Please click here for information on how to apply. You and your family can get help with this process. You can contact Mrs. Chaput for one-on-one assistance. You can also reach the financial aid professionals at Centralia College and we will also be having workshops & information sessions. Please be watching for additional details
Deadlines are critical. Please make sure you are planning ahead. I have made a quick reference sheet for Washington Public Universities. Of course you may be applying to other colleges, but hopefully this will be a helpful start. Click here
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a lot of change for the college process and in particular to the requirement for SAT/ACT test scores. More and more colleges have announced they are moving to a test-optional policy. However, each college is different. You MUST check with the specific college. I have listed SAT/ACT info for WA public colleges on the College Deadline Sheet for reference.
