Some Questions Answered



Thanks so much for coming to the meeting yesterday with so many ideas and good questions. I’ve found a few answers today.
o   If you sign up for a FAFSA webinar, yes, you will be able to watch it later.
o   June 30 will remain as the deadline for getting a FAFSA completed
o   I’ve attached a chart with the FAFSA changes all lined out.
o   I’ve also attached a copy of all the updates, etc. I’m putting in Tiger Times this coming Monday. Be sure to check out the two articles from Money magazine about the FAFSA changes.

o    Here’s where students can find test questions for the new placement test, Accuplacer; https://secure-media.collegeboard.org/digitalServices/pdf/accuplacer/accuplacer-sample-questions-for-students.pdf

o    We have all the students’ new schedules. They’ll get filed next week. If you should need any before then, they are on the work table by the sink.
o    There’s also some info on the bulletin boards in the hall now. (Lots more to add.)

o   OSAC Scholarship Personal Statements have changed to:
1.       What are your specific educational plans and career goals and why? What inspires you to achieve them?
2.       What have you done for your family or community that you care about the most and why?
3.       Describe a personal accomplishment and the strengths and skills you used to achieve it.
4.       Describe a significant change or experience that has occurred in your life. How did you respond and what did you learn about yourself?
