WHY YOU SHOULD FILL OUT THE FAFSA

Some of the things we hear from students about financial aid in the Career Center.... “My parents make too much money, so I won’t qualify for aid.” “Only students with good grades get financial aid.” “The FAFSA is too hard to fill out.”

These myths are incorrect, so don’t make assumptions about what you’ll get—fill out the application and find out!

Complete your FAFSA online athttps://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa

When you fill out this form, you're also automatically applying for funds from your state, and possibly from your school as well. In fact, some schools and organizations won’t even consider you for any of their scholarships (including the CHS Foundation) until you’ve submitted a FAFSA. Check out this article: Why You Should Fill Out the FAFSA (Even If You Think It's a Waste of Time).

The Career Center also has a step-by-step guide on how to fill out the FAFSA. Thank you to Mrs. Sande for putting this guide together for us!If you are planning on attending any post-secondary education after high school you NEED to fill out the FAFSA immediately. Non-citizen students who meet income and residency requirements can complete the WASFA at

https://readysetgrad.wa.gov/wasfa.

Scholarship ScamsEvery year, several hundred thousand students and parents are defrauded by scholarship scams. The victims of these scams lose thousands, if not millions, of dollars collectively on an annual basis according to multiple sources. Scam operations often imitate legitimate government agencies, grant-giving foundations, education lenders and scholarship matching services, using official-sounding names containing words like "National," "Federal," "Foundation," or "Administration." This section provides advice on how to identify such scholarship scams, how to distinguish between legitimate and fraudulent organizations, how to protect yourself from scholarship scams; and what to do if you are scammed. In general, be wary of scholarships with an application fee, scholarship matching services who guarantee success, advance-fee loan scams and sales pitches disguised as financial aid "seminars".
