SENIOR financial aid and scholarship application deadlines

SENIORS - if you haven't completed your FAFSA yet, please go to www.fafsa.ed.gov and get it done this weekend.  Remember, you DON'T need to have completed your 2012 taxes in order to apply.  You can "estimate" your 2012 information and then update it to your "actual" information once you and your parents file your taxes.  The priority deadline is February 1st, which is tomorrow, so get it done tomorrow if possible.

Also, the Oregon Student Assistance Commission scholarship application deadline is coming up on March 1st, but please don't wait until the last day of February to start applying.  Go to www.getcollegefunds.org and apply NOW (you can apply as soon as you do your FAFSA).

I will be posting other local scholarship information on a regular basis starting tomorrow, but these are the two most urgent items for you to take care of tonight or at least over this weekend.  If you have any questions, stop by my office and I will help you :)
