Senior Parents/Guardians,
The federal government has opened the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). If you have not already done so, the first step in the process is for you and at least one parent/contributor to Create your FSA ID. If you click that link it will walk you through the steps.
We have also included a link that explains the process for completing the FAFSA. How to fill out the FAFSA.
Megan Hanson, our Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) representative who did our Financial Aid Night in October, can also provide assistance in the process. Her email is Megan.Hanson@illinois.gov.
