FAFSA Night at BHS - The legislature passed a bill that ALL high school seniors must complete the FAFSA. Neb. Rev. Stat. ยง 79-729, provides that, beginning in school year 2024-2025, each public high school student must complete and submit to the United States Department of Education a FAFSA prior to graduating from high school except as otherwise provided on this form. (See Miss T. for the form to opt out.) EducationQuest will be at Burwell Jr. Sr. High School on Thursday, November 13th in the high school library from 3:30pm -7pm for Seniors and their Families to complete the FAFSA (free application for federal student aid). The Senior Student and one Parent must have an FSA ID at least 5 days before the Nov 13th appointment with EducationQuest. To begin the process of applying for financial aid, create a Federal Student Aid account (FSA ID) at studentaid.gov. Your parent will also need an FSA ID if you're a dependent student. The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is your application for federal, state, and college-based financial aid. Complete the form at studentaid.gov in the fall of each year. The colleges you list on the FAFSA will use your information to award financial aid. Submit the form before the colleges' FAFSA priority date to get the best financial aid offers. Renew the FAFSA every year you're in college. NOTE: Both the Senior student and Parent need to be in attendance. Please sign up with Miss T for a time to attend. Call 3083464150 or email julie.tetschner@burwellpublicschools.com.
