FAFSA Frenzy

Seniors prepare for the opening of the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) by applying for their FSA ID as Mrs. Shearer, the career coach, and Mrs. Horn, the senior counselor, guide them through the process. The FAFSA is required in order to receive the Arkansas Challenge Scholarship along with any offers from the student's school of choice even if the family is not eligible for the federal grant. Parents can receive help completing the application at the FAFSA workshop being held at BRTC Paragould Campus on Oct. 15 from 4pm-6:30pm. Financial aid officers will be there to answer questions about any special circumstances. All seniors and their parents are invited. They will need their FSA ID and the taxes that were filed in April. Contact Mrs. Horn or Mrs. Shearer at Paragould High School if you have questions.
