Financial Aid

Paying for college can be overwhelming. There are many types of financial aid to help alleviate costs to students and their families.

1st: Complete the financial aid application that is right for you!

ALL seniors must complete the FAFSA application, Alternative Application (or the Non-Participation Form) in order to meet Illionois graduation requirements. Financial aid is available for students attending college level courses after high school (trade, technical school, community college, university).
