[nabs-l] College and Scholarship Apps

[Jameyanne Fuller]

Cricket, you can't start the FAFSA until January 1 of next year, because you use your (or your parents') 2016 tax returns. Your schools will probably all have individual financial aid application deadlines on their websites (or maybe it's all the same for undergrad, I don't remember). Try to make sure you and your parents have all the relevanttaxes done as soon as possible after January 1 (I think you can do the FAFSA without filing but you'll need the information and it's a whole lot easier if you have the tax forms in front of you and can just enter the numbers it asks for). In any case, your schools will tell you what to do and when to do it by.

Justin and Brian,

I'll definitely be applying for the NFB of California and NFB national
scholarships. I can only hope to be lucky enough to get some of them.
Hopefully the FAFSA deadline will come out soon so that I can work on
that too. I have to get into college first, before I can get a
scholarship from any particular school. Stanford is my dream school,
of course. Berkeley is a good one too. Still looking for others.
