We are now well into October. Any senior planning on going to college should be started with the process. If not, TODAY is the day to get started. Below is a checklist of things that should be done or at least underway by now.
- Investigate colleges and possible majors to find a good fit. (See your counselor if you are struggling with this step.)
- Visit colleges (It is important to see if a specific college is a good fit for you.)
- Apply to colleges (All applications can be found on the colleges' websites.)
- Complete FAFSA (Please complete ASAP. You do not want to lose out on money that will be gone if you wait. FAFSA is mandatory this year for graduation.)
- Start looking for scholarships (Check out Scholarship link to the right and the Off to College Guide for more links to great scholarship websites.)
