Orangeburg-Wilkerson High Hosts FAFSA EVents

The cornerstone to any grant or scholarship search is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). FAFSA is a free application provided by the U.S. Department of Education that can qualify students for government-funded scholarships and grants. The application must be completed and submitted to the federal government in order to be considered for public and university financial aid programs, as well. Putting off or not filing the FAFSA means risking missing the deadline and severing one’s chances of receiving thousands of dollars in free college money. The FAFSA may be completed online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
