All students in their senior year and their parents will be expected to attend our Financial Aid meeting in January. Families will submit both the federal and state forms to ensure the most financial aid they are eligible for. Please be aware that the federal government expects that the benefit of a college education is the students and the parents' responsibility. Although many of our students have a "0" Expected Family Contribution (EFC), The U.S. Department of Education will determine how much you can afford to pay for College. This will be based on your family's income and assets.
