DLC Highlights

Financial Aid Time!

It's time for all you college-bound seniors to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and the sooner the better. Many types of financial aid, like grants and scholarships, are given out on a first-come, first-served basis. And you don't have to pay back grants or scholarships.

Apply by February 15 to get the money you need for college before it runs out. Fill out the FAFSA if you are applying to (or even just thinking of applying to):

  • Universities and four-year colleges
  • Community colleges
  • Vocational and technical schools

Here are some resources you can use to find money for college and to fill out the FAFSA correctly.
