Financial+Aid

=Financial Aid= ===‍This years Financial Aid Meeting will be December 11th in the Mineral Point High School Cafetorium.===

While there is not a specific deadline for financial aid, students should apply as soon as possible to ensure maximum consideration for need-based aid and scholarship programs. (Students who submitted all required financial aid materials by late February received their award notification by May 1. Applications completed in March and beyond will be processed but award notifications will likely not be sent until after May 1).

Paper FAFSA's will not be available for order in bulk. Students will be able to obtain a paper FAFSA by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID  begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-800-4-FED-AID end_of_the_skype_highlighting (1-800-433-3243  begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-800-433-3243 end_of_the_skype_highlighting ). Students may request up to three copies of the paper application and should receive their FAFSAs in three to seven business days.

The vast majority of students will use the online FAFSA which can be found at []. It is a good idea to fill out your FAFSA as soon as possible in order to make sure you are eligible for the maximum amount of student aid. Do your best to prepare your tax information and get your FAFSA filed by February or early March.

Filling out the FAFSA will give you the opportunity to use various types of financial aid that may help you make a plan to finance your post-secondary education. Rather than guess whether you are eligible for aid, submit a FAFSA and find out.
