Hoosier students and families are encouraged to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is now open for the 2022-2023 school year.
Filing the FAFSA is required for many of Indiana’s scholarship and grant opportunities and many colleges require a completed FAFSA to award merit and need-based scholarships. Regardless of the degree being pursued – including short-term certificates, associate and bachelor’s degrees and higher – students should file the FAFSA to potentially qualify for available financial aid.
Assistance with completing the FAFSA is available! A representative from INvestED will be available from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm and 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm on Monday, October 25th in the high school library to assist with FAFSA questions and the application.
A checklist of items to bring can be found on the main page of the Highland High School website.
Don't forget to mark your calendars for the FAFSA Completion Event on Monday, October 25th!
LUNCH:
Domino’ Pizza, cherry tomatoes, assorted veggies and fruit.
