All seniors are REQUIRED by the State of Illinois to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the ISBE FAFSA Non-Participation Form in order to graduate this May.

Seniors have two options to complete the FAFSA graduation requirement:

1. Fill out the ISBE FAFSA Non Participation Form if: a. you DO NOT plan to apply for Federal Student Aid or b. you DO NOT need a Student Loan or scholarships for college or c. you DO NOT plan to attend college in the fall

to fill out a ISBE FAFSA Non Participation Form, print it out, complete the signatures and return it to Mrs. Malone ASAP.~ Paper forms are also available in the HS Office.

2. Fill out the FAFSA online at fafsa.gov if: a. you plan to apply for Federal Student Aid or b. you need a Student Loan or scholarships for college or c. you plan to attend college in the fall

You'll need the help of your family. Students and parents should gather their 2019 financial information, log on to fafsa.gov and complete the FAFSA as soon as possible.

Mrs. Malone continues to be available to help students complete their FAFSA. Reach out via email & she will send a Zoom link for an after school (1:15 PM - 3:30 PM) meeting to students/parents who request FAFSA Completion help.
