Seniors and Guardians,
This is a reminder that the FAFSA (fafsa.gov) and AR scholarship (scholarships.adhe.edu) applications should be completed. Also, make sure you are completing the scholarship applications for the college you plan to attend. Remember, they have academic scholarships and privately funded scholarships. Once you have been admitted to the college, they will send you information about applying for their scholarships and completing the housing information. Finally, check your school email often because scholarship opportunities have been sent to you. Some of our local scholarships are now available and others will be coming soon.
