Senior Year

  • Some schools require you take either the SAT or ACT. Research the schools you are planning on applying at to determine if you need to take one of the tests. Some scholarships also require these tests. Once or twice a year, we offer a school day SAT which you can register through your graduating class Google Classroom.

  • If you’re planning to apply for financial aid in Washington State, you’ll complete either the FAFSA or the WASFA—but not both. The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is for U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens and determines eligibility for federal and state financial aid. The WASFA (Washington Application for State Financial Aid) is designed for students who don’t qualify for federal aid or choose not file a FAFSA. 

    Watch for info about a FAFSA night in October where you and your family can get support filling out the FAFSA

     

  • Tips:

    Make sure you apply for scholarships at ALL of the schools you apply to (Remember : Google "University name" scholarships)

    If you are a College Bound scholar, as long as you meet requirements, filling out the FAFSA or WASFA will make you eligible
