True False Important Information Regarding College Scholarships and Financial Aid Opportunities

As part of your senior student’s preparation for their post high school career, we are providing important information that outlines financial opportunities to any student that applies. These opportunities are in no way required for you or your student to pursue, however, they are all free and are in no way binding unless you choose to accept them if they are offered. The scholarships and grants do not need to be repaid, but the student/parent loans will need to be paid back. The application process is outlined in the “Opportunities” booklet that your student will receive or has received during their senior meeting with their school counselor. Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), is required if you or your student is looking for a financial aid package, and for consideration for most scholarship and grant opportunities.

By signing below I understand that there are financial aid opportunities that I may or may not apply for in order to help offset the costs of future educational opportunities.

Información importante acerca de becas universitarias y oportunidades de ayuda financiera

Como parte de la preparación de su hijo para su educación posterior en el último año de la preparatoria, estamos proporcionando información importante que describe oportunidades financieras a cualquier estudiante que aplique. Estas oportunidades no son en lo absoluto necesarios para usted o su estudiante que haga, sin embargo, todos son gratis y no están forzados a menos que decida aceptarlas si se les ofrecen algo. Las becas y ayudas no necesitan ser reembolsados, pero tendrán que pagar los préstamos de estudiante / padres. El proceso de solicitud se describe en el folleto de "Oportunidades" que su estudiante recibirá o ha recibido durante su reunión de alto nivel con su consejero de la escuela. Completar la Solicitud Gratuita de Ayuda Federal para Estudiantes (FAFSA), es necesario si usted o su hijo está buscando un paquete de ayuda financiera, y la consideración de la mayoría de becas y ayudas.

Al firmar abajo entiendo que hay oportunidades de ayuda financiera que puede o no solicitar con el fin de ayudar a compensar los costos de futuras oportunidades educativas
