Important Information to Note:

* Get your ID! Seniors intending on applying for financial aid through the FAFSA will need to register for an ID.  The ID serves as your identifier to let you access your personal information in various U.S. Department of Education systems.  It’s like the Personal Identification Number that you get from your bank that enables you to access your account. Sign up at FAFSA ID .

* When you have been accepted to a college, make sure to get with the financial aid department ASAP to check on the availability of scholarships at the college!  Stop in every semester and ask - you never know what great opportunity might be available!

* When you commit to a university, PLEASE let the other colleges/universities that you have been accepted to know.  Not only is it courteous, it allows the funds they reserved for you to go to another student.
