Reminder to Seniors (& Parents): If you are planning to attend college in the fall of 2024 and want to apply for financial aid, make sure to complete the FAFSA. They have made some significant updates to the FAFSA form online, so if you are running into issues/glitches be sure to reach out to the financial aid office at any of the colleges you have applied to for assistance. We received this statement from the MN Office of Higher Education: " On Jan. 30, the U.S. Department of Education (US DOE) announced that colleges and universities will receive 2024-2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) applicant data beginning in the first half of March. Initially, US DOE had announced institutions and state agencies would begin to receive data by the end of January 2024. This new timeline is up to six weeks later and will cause an additional delay for college-bound students and families to receive financial aid offers, which will likely occur in early to mid-April."
