Get your PIN number FREE!

Seniors and parents of seniors, if you haven't done so, now is the time to get your PIN number. This PIN number will be your electronic signature when filling out the FAFSA. Both student and parent need their own PIN number. The application is quick, but have your social security number and a valid email address because both are required.

The FAFSA can be filled out as early as this weekend, so don't wait another minute to get your information and your PIN. And like filling out the FAFSA, your PIN number is FREE!

FAFSA Time

The FAFSA is on it's way! The FAFSA, Free Application for Federal Student Aid, will soon be available online. This is the form of all forms for receiving any federal aid, and often other aid as well. Any senior who is planning on attending any college should take the time to gather up the needed items to fill this out. Come January 2, you can fill it out online using your 2009 tax information. If you need assistance, there is plenty available. See your guidance counselor or Mrs. Sanders in E 109 for assistance opportunities.

For any Richland Northeast High School seniors and parents, on February 8 at 6:00 PM there will be a FAFSA workshop put on by Rob Mendenhall of the College Funding Center of South Carolina. Gather up your tax forms and other necessary data and head over to Richland Northeast High School. If you are planning on attending, please register.
