Resources/College Planning

Students are responsible for submitting SAT or ACT scores to colleges.

They should log in to College Board or ACT and send the scores to each school they are applying to that require scores. 

These scores are not on the student transcript and usually need to be officially sent from the testing company.

The FAFSA is required for anyone who is seeking financial aid to pay for college.  It can be done at anytime after October 1st of senior year, and does not need to be done before submitting applications.  The website is  Student Aid
