Michelle saw me at Costco and asked me “What should my senior be doing right now?”
May I suggest the following checklist just for seniors:
1. Fill out the FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov
The FAFSA is a government form you fill out to determine your financial “need” for scholarships. Financial aid is sometimes “first come – first served” so apply as soon as possible in January.
2. Apply to colleges
Every college has it’s own unique requirements and time lines, so check each college website under “apply” or “admissions.” Most students apply to between five and eight colleges.
3. Sign up for college tests
Colleges may want to see the SAT, ACT, AP or SAT Subject tests, so sign up for those tests if you haven’t taken necessary tests already.
The HomeScholar Gold Care Club will give you the comprehensive help you need to homeschool high school.
