FAFSA NIGHT
On January 16 at 6pm, Mount Hood Community College will be coming to Corbett High School to discuss FAFSA and help walk families through the process of applying for Financial Aid.
To prepare for this night, please create an FSA ID ahead of time. One parent and their student should make an account through this website. It takes 2 days for the government to process an FSA ID, so be sure to do this before that night if you want assistance filling out the application! Please see attachment for further information and tips.
Please bring your laptops (if you need one, we have some available!) and any questions you may have about the process or Financial Aid in general.
If you plan to attend, please register by emailing Ms. Pekny at spekny@corbett.k12.or.us. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
