FAFSA Reminders

Mark Your Calendars!
·         Priority deadline for ND is March 15 at Midnight—if you want a chance to receive “gift aid” you don’t want to miss this deadline!
·         Make sure to check with the college/university you plan to attend—many have earlier deadlines and missing these will affect your eligibility to receive institutional scholarships, work-study, and grants.
·         For one-on-one help with the FAFSA, and for a chance to win a laptop or a $500 scholarship, attend College Goal Sunday on February 13th—visit www.collegegoalnd.org for more information and to find the nearest location
