Paragould High School seniors have been working since October 1 to complete the FAFSA, AR Academic Challenge Scholarship, and other scholarship applications. To encourage seniors to apply during the FAFSA Frenzy push this spring, all students who verified they had submitted the FAFSA application were entered into a drawing for dorm room accessories. We are excited to announce that Dustie Hall won the dorm fridge, and her future roommate Lari Norwood won one of the microwaves. Macy Harrelson and Allie Robb (not pictured) also won a microwave each. Lydia Friend won a $25 Visa gift card to purchase those last minute details that any dorm will need. We hope this helps them as they begin their new adventure in college this fall. If students have not completed the FAFSA yet and need help, they can contact Mrs. Horn or Mrs. Shearer to walk them through the application process.
