SENIORS & PARENTS 🚨
🎓 The 2027–2028 FAFSA opens October 1, 2026!
Seniors, DON’T WAIT! Completing the FAFSA is the first step toward finding out what financial aid you may qualify for, including grants, work-study, and student loans.

👨🏾‍👩🏾‍👧🏾 PARENTS — PLEASE READ THIS!
Providing your information on the FAFSA does NOT mean you are agreeing to pay for your child’s college.
Your information helps the FAFSA determine your student’s financial aid eligibility. Being a FAFSA contributor does not make you responsible for your child’s education costs.
And remember: LOANS ARE NOT REQUIRED!
If your student is offered loans, they can choose whether or not to accept them. They do not have to accept the full amount offered.

📝 GET READY NOW!
THe PCHS Counseling Department will be posting tips all week in preparation for the October 1 application opening date!
