Tuesday, November 12th -- FSA ID Workshop 5:30-7:30pm
Seniors are required to submit the FAFSA -or- submit the waiver form to the state in order to receive their diplomas. One (sometimes challenging) part of that process is for parents and students to set up their FSA ID account, which is required to complete the FAFSA. Our friends from the Illinois Student Assistance Commission will be on hand to help students and parents request their FSA ID. SIGN UP HERE.

Thanks for reading, JOIN US! If you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to Ms. Ohlson via email (brenna.ohlson@d303.org) or phone at (331)228-6343.
