Beginning Wednesday, October 22, counselors will host a series of FAFSA Help Sessions to assist students and families in completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The first two sessions will take place during parent/teacher conferences, making it convenient for families to stop by and receive personalized support.
In Nebraska, completing the FAFSA is now a graduation requirement, and South Sioux City Schools is committed to helping every senior meet that requirement and take full advantage of available grants, scholarships, and college financial aid opportunities.
