There is a link in this article to get to the FAFSA website.  In the past, we have had a FAFSA guru come in and talk to parents and students about how to fill it out and answer questions that they have.  Hopefully, we will still be able to do that in the month of October, but with COVID we are still trying to work on that.

On October 16 we will be holding our Apply Kansas event where we meet with the seniors and help them through the enrollment process if they have not already done it.  During this time we will bring their ACT scores and transcripts and have any additional information that they need.  There are also some schools that waive the application fee during the month of October for this event, so I will have that information when we meet.
