FAFSA Night will be held on December 12th from 6:00pm-7:00pm in the cafeteria. Washburn University will be here to help with any FAFSA questions. It is almost that time of year where students need to start applying for FAFSA for their first year of college. To apply for FAFSA, students and typically one of their parents/guardians must have an FSA ID - which is super simple to get and takes only about 5-10 minutes to complete. I've attached a power point as well as a picture to show how to complete the FSA ID. https://studentaid.gov/resources/prepare-for-college/creating-your-account If your child plans to attend college, please have them create an FSA ID (if they haven't already done so) and create one for yourself. This will be needed for FAFSA night - and it does take up to a week to get the actual ID. Email Miss Zeller at zeller@usd454.net with any questions you may have.
