!FAFSA Update!

For 2008-2009 paper FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) packets will no longer be available through the counselor's office.

Students can obtain a paper FAFSA by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243). Students may request up to 3 copies and should receive their FAFSAs in 3-7 business days.

New for 2008-2009 is a PDF version of the FAFSA that students can submit for processing. Beginning in mid-November the PDF will be available for download on various Federal Student Aid Web sites such as www.FederalStudentAid.ed.gov.
