Seniors: Important Information about Graduation
New this year: All seniors must complete a FAFSA application in order to graduate, as required by the State Board of Education. The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is required to get financial aid for most colleges and technical schools. Completing the application can be the first step toward your plans after graduation, whether it’s a two- or four-year college, technical school, or career training! TPS holds regular support sessions where you can learn about the process and create your FSA ID in advance of the application opening December 1. The next session is Saturday, November 9, from 10 AM to 2 PM. Find more information about FAFSA and other resources for Seniors here.
