Students planning to attend college in the
2017-2018 academic year can start working on
their FAFSA beginning on October 1. This new
earlier date will give students and their
families a better idea of the financial costs
associated with the schools they are
considering, and hopefully help them make a more
informed decision earlier than previous years.
Because no tax information is available yet for
2016, this year's FAFSA will have to be
completed using 2015 tax information.
The Michigan deadline for submitting the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is
March 1st for the upcoming financial aid year.
Contact the Financial Aid Office at the college
you are planning to attend if you have questions
or need assistance in completing the FAFSA. You
may also contact Mr. Sutherland at the High
School.
