12th Grade

Senior Winter Break Assignments and Reminders are as follows:

• • Work on completing your CSS Profile Application, due to USC in January. ( CSS troubleshooting guide) This application is mandatory for all students who apply to USC. You will need your parents' 2021 tax returns for this application. Advisory will assist you in completing any portions of this application that you could not complete on your own when you return from break, however, we want you to complete as much of this application as possible on your own during Winter Break.
    

  • Complete the USC Norman Topping Scholarship Application. This is a $5,500, renewable, 4-year, scholarship for incoming USC students. Also, work on completing as many other scholarship applications as possible.
    

  • Create college portal logins for each of the schools you have applied to, as requested via email from the colleges. Be sure to save all the usernames/passwords, along with the links for future use.
    

  • Create your Cal Grant account Username/Password. This account will be used to confirm, track and assign your Cal Grant funds to your college of choice.
    

  • Continue to complete and submit any college applications for private or out-of-state schools that have later or revolving due dates.
    

  • Update your FAFSA /DREAM applications to add all of the schools that you completed applications for. Failing to add a school will result in no aid offer from that campus, even if you are admitted for Fall.
    

  • Continue to update Advisory on all admissions decisions you receive and please let us know if you give us permission to share the good news on our NAI social media accounts. We only use your first name, and you can also send us a photo of your choosing to add to the announcement if you prefer.
