Dear Senior Parents/Guardians,
Your child's senior year is here, and they may already be thinking about plans after high school. Whether your student is considering a college, university, community college, career school, or trade program, you may also be wondering how to pay for it all. Terms like FAFSA, financial aid, scholarships, grants, and student loans can quickly become overwhelming.
As the new school year approaches, now is the perfect time for students and families to start planning for college and career education expenses and exploring financial aid opportunities. To help guide you through the process, the Lake Land College Financial Aid Office will be hosting a Financial Aid Night at Kansas School on September 21 at 5:00 p.m. in the cafeteria.
As our local community college, Lake Land College provides this service free of charge to area schools and families. This presentation is not specific to Lake Land College, so all seniors and their parents/guardians are encouraged to attend, regardless of the student's postsecondary plans.
During the presentation, financial aid professionals will discuss:
The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)
Scholarships and grants
Student loans
Paying for college, career, and trade school
Tips for completing the financial aid process
Please note that Illinois state law requires public high school seniors to either complete the FAFSA or submit an approved waiver in order to receive a high school diploma. This event is an excellent opportunity to learn about the FAFSA process, understand your options, and ask questions directly to financial aid experts.

School Counselor
