Fall is definitely in the air which means we are only a few weeks away from the start of some big ticket items such as applying for admission. For the rest of this month start thinking about how your future career fits your plans, the skills you’d like to build this year, what colleges you may want to visit again, and the schools where you want to apply. But first up – let’s talk Career Planning.

Career Planning – Another to-do is to think about your future career and how it fits your next steps. Career planning is the first step towards finding your future. In this webinar we will discuss how students, beginning as early as middle school, can work to identify their interests and passions and utilize high school experiences to explore potential career opportunities. We’ll also discuss the role career planning should play in selecting post-high school education or training opportunities, including college selection and affordability.

Admissions – College Application Month is October, so next month is when you can begin narrowing down your choices, but you don’t have to apply just yet. The goal is to have your applications in by November 1 so you can turn your attention to other things such as scholarships. If you need a bit more time, aim for Thanksgiving to have all your applications submitted.

Financial Aid – The FAFSA form is delayed this year by Federal Student Aid, so you don’t have to worry about financial aid applications quite yet. The FAFSA isn’t set to be released until December 1, so take that off your list for now. When the time comes, we will provide a lot of help and information about FAFSA when the time comes.

Between now and December, you can get started on setting up your StudentAid.gov Accounts. Your account is a username and password that needs to be setup BEFORE you file the FAFSA.

The StudentAid.gov Account creates a username and password needed to login to Federal Student Aid websites, and is required to complete forms such as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In this interactive session we will guide students and families through the setup and verification process, step by step.
