Dear Senior Parents:
Last night, we held our Senior Parent Night meeting before Back to School Night. For those of you who could not attend, please take a look at the linked recording (below) at your leisure so that you have the same important information that has been shared with your seniors & with parents who attended last night. The college application process can feel overwhelming; this presentation will hopefully break things down so that the process feels manageable.
One important thing to highlight is a new state graduation requirement for the class of 2025: All students must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Undocumented students who are not eligible for federal aid but do qualify as NJ Dreamers can fill out the New Jersey Alternative Financial Aid Application instead. Those who do not wish to fill out the FAFSA must complete and sign a waiver and turn that into your child's school counselor. (The FAFSA is expected to be released by the federal government on 12/1/24.)
SAVE THE DATES:
(Virtual) Financial Aid Night (Presented by Solution Prep): Tuesday, 10/29/24 from 6:30-8:30pm
(In-Person) FAFSA Support Session, Saturday, 12/7/24 from 11-1 pm
As the dates near, please look for more information on the school calendar from the NBTHS website.
