December Is Here!

December is here! Christmas is right around the corner. But have you seniors in high school turned in at least 3 to 4 college applications? If not, it’s very important to do so because most colleges are getting ready to start viewing applications. Pretty soon they will be making their decisions. As Christmas is around the corner, January is also fast approaching. What does that mean? That means that beginning January 1st you can file for your FAFSA. What does FAFSA stand for? FAFSA stands for Free Application for Student Aid. FAFSA is so important; it determines how much financial aid you get and how much money you have to pay out of your pocket for college. The earlier you apply, the better chance you have of receiving more money. I encourage every senior to turn your FAFSA in ASAP. I also encourage students to set up an appointment with your DC CAP Advisor and make sure everything is straight before you go on your winter break.
