IV. FAFSA Support for Seniors: 

Collecting 2021 Taxes (1040 and W-2s): With senior year officially underway, the CCO is starting to support seniors with college and financial aid applications. Starting October 1st, seniors can begin filling out the FAFSA for need-based financial aid. Our team is here to help and support your seniors with submitting the FAFSA. Our college counselors (Ariel Perry and Sarah Dewey) will be reaching out to you to discuss how we can best support you with submitting the FAFSA and what documents we would need to submit the FAFSA accurately. Be on the lookout for an email/text from the CCO in the coming weeks.
