SENIOR FAFSA DAY

One of the most important tasks of your Senior Year involves the successful completion of the FAFSA.  Even if you don't think you will qualify for the Pell Grant, many colleges and universities require the completion of the FAFSA before any scholarships can be credited to your account.  

Make plans now to attend Senior FAFSA Day and get assistance with your FAFSA so you have it done CORRECTLY the first time!  All of the TRIO Upward Bound staff and Master Tutors will be available to give you one-to-one attention.  See you there!
