Financial Aid season is well underway! If you haven't already, filing the FAFSA is the first step towards receiving financial aid in the 2025-26 school year. Seniors who demonstrate that they have completed and filed the FAFSA form can stop by the counseling office to receive a treat this month! Also, check out these amazing scholarship opportunities that the Class of 2025 has in front of them. We will continue to update this spreadsheet as we continue receiving opportunities. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q_IqjEscavalNZjk18jwX4JHoGRoJIYFi52BqQfl-40/edit?usp=sharing
