Applying for College

 

Below is a list of websites that may be be helpful to seniors applying for college scholarships.

www.ncaaclearinghouse.org
College scholarships and grants; great college funding and admission tips for high school students, including vital career planning, college search ; selection, campus visit, and specific funding application guidelines and procedures.

www.ncaaclearinghouse.org
Go to this website now to set up your account and establish your PIN number.  In late November or December you may pick up a FAFSA (Free Application for Student Aid) form in Guidance.  Once your parents have their income tax forms completed, you may go to this website in January to submit your FAFSA online.  You should get the results within two to three weeks, which is much faster than mailing in the FAFSA.

Some colleges also require students to submit the PROFILE in addition to the FAFSA.  You may go to this website now to do this. You do not have to wait until January.

If you plan to play sports in college you will need to submit an NCAA eligibility form.  You may go to this website to do this.  We need students to download an extra copy of this form and bring it into Guidance to send along with the transcript.

http://www.cfnc.org
This is a super website for NC students.  Students may take virtual tours of NC colleges, access information, and submit applications online.  There is also a student planner and a career section.
