If you haven't completed your FAFSA, there's still time. Connect with your College Counselor for assistance.

“I think it really is going to fall on low-income students, because the wealthy students don’t need the financial aid, so they’re just gonna make a decision..."
A perfect look at what it's like to be a college counselor right now.
She’s gotten the grades, applied, been admitted & is heading to Illinois State University. She’s excited about sharing a dorm room with a friend. But, there’s one big problem: She doesn’t have any idea how much it will cost her.

True leaders never let their ego get in the way of acknowledging, affirming, equipping, and encouraging true leaders; They do their job, then make way for those coming behind them.

Often, I find colleges that extend their deposit deadlines because of FAFSA delays leave contradictory info on key web pages implying deadlines are still May 1. So, a plea: If you're going to extend (and I hope you do), make it clear. Put it in bold on all your platforms.
Ms. Atua Emu retweeted
Dear Colleges,
Please stop asking students to pay enrollment deposits without having financial aid.
I can’t drive a car off the lot without knowing what it costs. Students can’t make college choices without knowing what it’s going to cost & $500-1000 is a lot.
💙,
Team ASP

You CAN be the fun teacher, or the kind teacher, or the teacher that all the kids like, and still hold your students to very high expectations. That IS possible.
