"Without completing the FAFSA, students have no opportunity to receive a Pell Grant or other federal financial aid," says Gina Zhang (@myFutureNCdata).
The classes of 2021 and 2022 left $239 million in Pell Grants on the table.

👋 Hey, high school juniors!
Make sure to add these things to your summer bucket list before you begin your senior year.
ALT Summer Before 12th Grade Checklist: Create a username and password (FSA ID). Narrow down the colleges you’re considering. Contact colleges to request information about student aid, admission requirements, and deadlines. Decide whether you are going to apply under a particular college’s early decision or early action program. Apply for scholarships.
