College for North Carolina (CFNC) is where seniors will complete their NC Residency Determination (RDS) to get in-state tuition. On CFNC seniors can also explore colleges, careers, complete applications, apply for scholarships and send their high school transcript.
Senior year is full of questions, but the main one you will hear is: What do you want to do after high school? Start your senior year by preparing for your after high school plans; finalize your college list, talk with a military recruiter, or prepare for job interviews.
Explore your prospective schools’ financial aid requirements to plan your college budget. Complete your FAFSA so you can get the most possible financial assistance for college. Continue to hunt for scholarships and apply for scholarships. Verify your financial aid before you make any college budget decisions.
To begin, both student and parent need to create their FSA ID. Once you have completed the process for your FSA ID, you will be ready to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) when it opens on October 1st. Completing the FAFSA application is many times the first requirement for eligibility for many scholarships.
