Our presentation by Pacific Union College was very successful! We had about 47 students in attendance. I am hoping to bring more colleges on campus.
I attended an NCAA high school counselor presentation this week, I have learned a lot regarding our student athletes. If you need information please reach out and I can share the information with anyone interested.
Students interested in taking the SAT at Woodland Community College on Dec. 7th, registration ends Nov. 22nd. You can register online through your College Board account.
On Friday, October 11th, I attended the CSAC - Financial Aid Workshop at the Sacramento County Board of Education. The following are updates from the conference:
Anticipated date the FAFSA and CADAA will open is December 1st. They are going through an initial process right now, trying to get rid of any bugs or problems that were encountered last year.
Students can create their account and invite contributors (parent/parents/guardians) to also create an account. This way when it opens, you will be ready to go. Students need their own personal email account, honestly, this should be set up in their Freshman year because we also use it for dual-enrollment sign-ups. Students should not use their MUSD email!
The FAFSA and CADAA form actually help determine the different types of financial aid which include:
Gift Aid - grants and scholarships
Self-help Aid - Loans and student employment
Federal Work Study Programs - these are better than a job because academics always come first with these positions.
Please let me know if you are interested in a “Cash for College” night. I would like to hold it in the first week of December if there is interest.
