Financial Aid Information - Class of 2024
Governor Hochul is encouraging all seniors to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).
"Last year, New York’s high school students left over $200 million in federal aid unclaimed by not filling out the FAFSA. The FAFSA is free, and opens the door to federal and state aid, including Tuition Assistance Program and Excelsior Scholarship, as well as other college funding awards."
Students and their families are encouraged to go to hesc.ny.gov/fafsaready to learn about events and informational services in their community. Students can also follow #FAFSAReady to hear from current college students.
A variety of links to support the completion of the FAFSA can be found in the Class of 2024 Google Classoom. They will also be linked on our Counseling page and newsletter later today. There is also a link to the video from our Financial Aid Night we had this past fall.
You can also reach out to the Financial Aid office of the college you have applied to, accepted an offer for, or are considering attending for more information that directly pertains to that institution.
