SCHOLARSHIP ONE PAGE (1).pdfShould I Apply for FAFSA? YES!
Should I Apply for FAFSA? YES!
Yes. Regardless of your or your parents’ income, you should fill out a FAFSA application. Federal student aid doesn’t have an income cut-off and additional factors are taken into consideration. Plus, the FAFSA may be required for merit-based awards you qualify for.
Consider It an Insurance Policy
Consider It an Insurance Policy
Your parents assured you that they can cover your college costs. Congratulations! But if we’ve learned anything recently, it’s that nothing is guaranteed.
The FAFSA is more than an application for financial aid today — it’s a backup in case of a catastrophe tomorrow, according to Michael G. Thomas Jr., an Accredited Financial Counselor with a Ph.D. in Financial Planning from the University of Georgia.
“When families don’t do it, it’s almost like saying you don’t have insurance in the event that an unexpected financial shock happens,” he said. “If you already have the information on file, the financial aid office can actually go back and look at your situation and award you or provide you with resources very quickly.”
In the midst of a crisis, do you really want to be tracking down your parents’ income tax return from two years ago?
FAFSA Opt-Out 2023.pdfPOSTED 1/23/2023
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or California Dream Act Application (CADAA) determines a pupil’s eligibility for financial aid to assist with a pupil’s attendance at a college or career
school. California Education Code (CEC) § 51225.7 requires a local educational agency to confirm each 12th grade pupil’s completion and submission of a FAFSA or CADAA unless the pupil is determined to be exempt or an opt-out form is completed by a pupil who is a legally emancipated minor, a pupil who is 18 years or older, a legal guardian, or parent, or a local educational agency on a pupil’s
behalf. This opt-out form permits a pupil to opt out of the completion of a FAFSA or CADAA form.
THIS FORM MUST BE RETURNED TO SLOHS NO LATER THAN MARCH 1st TO BE CONSIDERED
