Determine costs.
Apply for admission.
Complete the FAFSA and/or other necessary financial information
Make an appointment to meet with the financial aid offices for financial aid and
scholarship opportunities.
Meet all application deadlines.
Investigate private sources of financial aid.
Check the counseling website weekly for available scholarships.
WHAT IS A FAFSA?
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the form the U.S. Department of
Education (ED) requires to determine your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The government
conducts a "need a nalysis" based on financial information, such as income, assets, and other
family information, which you (and your parents if you are a dependent student) will be asked to
provide. This resource is located at: www.fafsa.ed.gov. A "Student Guide to Financial Aid"
detailing types of aid available from the federal government is available at no cost by contacting 1-
800-433-3243, or online at www.federalstudentaid.ed.gov.
The FAFSA is the application most colleges use to determine eligibility for federal, state, and
college-sponsored financial aid, including grants, educational loans, and work-study programs.
All college students are expected to contribute towards their education costs. How much you and
your family will be expected to contribute depends on your financial situation - and is what's
called your Expected Family Contribution (EFC).
The FA FSA cannot be submitted until January 1 of the senior year. However, it is important
to start early and be prepared. Financial aid is usually awarded on a "first come first
serve" basis. Consequently, early application may result in a more attractive aid package.
Keep copies of all completed forms and any correspondence with the financial aid office.
Your application is examined by a federal processor and the results are sent by computer to the
financial aid offices of the colleges you've chosen.
Through the FAFSA website. high school juniors can take advantage of the FAFSA4caster and
learn about the financial aid process, gain early awareness of aid eligibility, and much more. See
page 51 for more information regarding financial aid.
• Students will be able to file FAFSA as early as October 1st each year. The earlier submission date will be a permanent change, enabling students to complete and
subntit a FAFSA as early as October 1 every year. (There is NO CHANGE to the 2016-17 schedule. The FAFSA became available January 1 as in pm�ous years.)
• Students will be required to report income infom1ation from an earlier 1ax year.SCHOLARSHIPS
Some scholarships are based on merit, not financial need. Be sure to complete a
scholarship application. For many colleges this must be done in addition to the application
for admission. Students may be required to complete a financial needs analysis. If a
college awards its own scholarship dollars to students eligible for state or federal funds,
the student may not qualify for federal need-based funds. This allows the colleges to
make the best use of their scholarship dollars and to serve the greatest number of
students.
Students should investigate any private sources of financial aid available to them. These
may include:
-., Parents' employers ...,, Cultural Groups ...,, University Departments
..., Businesses ...,, Foundations ...,, Contests
...- Religious organizations ...,, Banks -.r Fraternal Organizations
Criteria which may determine scholarship recipients includes:
.., Grade Point Average .., ACT or SAT scores .., Letters of reference
...;, Class rank ...;, Essays ..., Difficulty of HS courses
..,, Activities ..., Interviews ..;, Autobiographical info
..; Leadership ..., Financial Need
Lewisville ISO Education Foundation (LEF) Scholarships are awarded to graduating seniors to
help them in their continued educational journey. Scholarships are awarded based on specific
criteria established by donors. These criteria range from academic achievement and community
involvement to success outside of academic ranking and career aspirations. For more information
go to: http://lisdef.com/htmVscholarships.php
SCHOLARSHIP NEWSLETTERS are available in the Counseling Center, as well as on the

select what friends they want to sit with during Rosecutting since graduation
is in alphabetical order. All seniors are connected by a long maroon ribbon

Lewisville High School expects all seniors to participate in this momentous

It may be best to sit near an aisle and or doorway in case of the need for a speedy exit. · Please show your approval and support for the students and speakers with applause. Whistling, cheering, and/or whooping are considered inappropriate and would interrupt the ceremony for our Graduates. If you are cheering loudly for a long duration for your graduate, you will not be able to hear the name of the next graduate. · Conversations should be avoided. · Noise-making devices, such as air horns, whistles, and other inappropriate distracting devices are not permitted.
