Carthage High School to Host FAFSA & Scholarship Night for Seniors and Families
Carthage, Texas — Carthage High School will host a FAFSA & Scholarship Night on Thursday, January 22, beginning at 5:00 p.m. in the CHS Library/Resource Center (LRC). The event is open to CHS seniors and their parents and is designed to provide hands-on support with college financial aid and scholarship applications.
During the event, families will receive assistance completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), a critical step in determining eligibility for federal, state, and institutional financial aid. Knowledgeable staff and volunteers will be available throughout the evening to answer questions and guide families through the application process.
In addition to FAFSA support, teachers and staff will offer guidance on scholarship applications, including tips for writing strong essays and identifying important information that scholarship committees look for in applicants. This support is intended to help students present their best possible applications.
The evening will also mark the opening of the CHS General Scholarship Application. This single application is distributed to numerous local organizations that award scholarships to Carthage High School seniors, making it an important opportunity for students seeking financial support for postsecondary education.
Carthage High School encourages all seniors and their families to attend this informative and supportive event to take advantage of available resources and maximize scholarship and financial aid opportunities.
For additional information, families may contact the Carthage High School counseling office.
