On Jan. 22, Gateway STEM High School hosted a FAFSA Frenzy night to assist students and their families with completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. HEC-Upward Bound’s very own Marvin Bullard was present to witness seniors Lizeth Delgado and Kassia Felton attend the event and successfully complete their applications.
While the application is certainly surmountable, the FAFSA isn’t as intuitive as it seems. So, high schools and resource centers throughout St. Louis host FAFSA completion events and offer a helping hand to families to ensure that students have the best financial aid packages as they journey into higher education.
Different colleges have different FAFSA deadlines. Therefore, seniors heading to college in Fall 2015 certainly need to complete the application as soon as possible. Juniors, sophomores, and freshmen should familiarize themselves with the process. It’s never too early to start inquiring about ways to gain money for school, especially if it is free money.
Speak with school counselors and Upward Bound staff about preparing for and completing the FAFSA, so you can join the ranks of Lizeth Delgado and Kassia Felton. Congrats, ladies! Go Jaguars!
