Now is the time to really focus on filling out those important applications ! Be timely with filling out your admissions , scholarships , and FAFSA applications . This can make a significant difference in the amount of aid you receive . Colleges / universities often operate on a first-come , first-serve basis when it comes to scholarships so don ’ t put these applications off ! The FAFSA , though dreaded , is super important ( schools can ’ t evaluate your financial aid package without it .) We want to make sure you are equipped for your future and ready to reach your potential so we have provided a step-by-step guide to the FAFSA !
Best wishes ,
