FOR SENIORS

*TODAY, DECEMBER 2 AT 6:30 PM IN THE BERKELEY HIGH LIBRARY -- FINANCIAL AID PART 2.  A representative from the UC Berkeley financial aid office will walk us line by line through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).  This form is required by all colleges to apply for financial aid.  Sessions will be offered in both English and Spanish.  If more than 25 students and/or parents attend, one student will win a $1,000 scholarship; if more than 75 attend, two will win scholarships and if more than 100 attend, 3 students will win scholarships.  This event is for senior families only as there is not enough room in the library to accommodate additional people.  We are working on setting up a financial aid event for junior families second semester.
