Dear Senior,

Welcome to your senior year. Many of you are making plans to attend some form of post secondary schooling after May 2021 Graduation. Most of you will also want to apply for financial assistance in the form of scholarships, loans, and/or grants.

We are very fortunate in Jefferson County to have numerous businesses and community organizations sponsor scholarships for students. The Guidance Department of Washington High School is publishing this directory, which includes most of the local scholarship listings. There are several optional forms in the front of the book. The first is the Scholarship Information Form which will be helpful for students in summarizing information needed in their scholarship applications. Many of the local community organizations, as well as the scholarship selection committee, are asking students to include this information in their letters of application. There are two worksheets that allow you to compare the cost of attending specific schools as well as the Financial Aid Packages offered from a specific school. Many scholarships ask students to demonstrate financial need. The last form enclosed is an optional form that a student may select to use if he/she wishes to demonstrate financial need. This Financial Need Form is OPTIONAL. Some scholarship committees will ask students to include the financial information that is in the FAFSA report. (SAR- Student Aid Report)

Seniors and their parent(s)/guardian(s) are also required to complete the federal financial aid form known as the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) in order to receive financial aid. This form became available on line on October 1, 2020. www.fafsa.ed.gov . Students and their parent(s)/guardian(s) must register for a FSAID and password in order to enter your private information required on the FAFSA form. The FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid that most post secondary schools utilize. Seniors should check with the financial aid office at the post secondary school which they are planning to attend as some schools require their own additional forms. FAFSA Must Be Filed by March 1st 2021

You must have your 2019 tax information and social security numbers in order to complete the process.

The PROMISE SCHOLARSHIP is a merit-based scholarship program that is designed to make college affordable to all qualified West Virginia students. Students are required to take the ACT or SAT. The Promise Scholarship Application must be submitted by March 1, 2021 online at www.cfwv.com . A student must file a FAFSA by March 1, 2021, for Promise consideration. Application and information available on CFWV.com under Financial Aid Planning, Find Scholarships. SAT/ACT scores may be used through August 2021.

*Students must achieve a 3.0 GPA overall as well as a combined English, Math, Science and Social Studies. College coursework taken in High School will count towards initial eligibility.

· Students must meet standardized test score criteria on ACT or SAT national test.

· ACT Score Requirement:

22 Composite with a minimum sub score of 20 in English, Math, Science and Reading

· SAT Score Requirement:

1100 Total Score with a minimum sub score of Math 520 and Evidence Reading and Writing

of 530. The SAT writing portion is not included in the calculation of the composite score.

WV INVESTS GRANT is a new program which will help offset the cost to attend a WV Community and Technical school. Review eligible Colleges and Programs on CFWV.com, Find Scholarships, WV INVESTS GRANT Application and FAFSA

The West Virginia Higher Education Grant is also designed to make college affordable to West Virginia students. Awards range depending on need and are applied towards tuition and fees for a full time student at an approved West Virginia or Pennsylvania college/university. The student must demonstrate financial need, have a 2.0 GPA, and submit FAFSA no later than March 1, 2021. Once the FAFSA application has been sent, the student is automatically considered for the West Virginia Higher Education Grant.

How do I get an FSA ID?

The FSA ID process consists of three main steps:

1. See website, www.studentaid.gov/fsaid

Click on Create a FSA ID now

· Provide your e-mail address, a unique username, and password, and verify that you are at least 13 years old.

2. Enter your personal information.

· Provide your Social Security number, name, and date of birth.

· Include your mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, and language preference. (Do not use your school email address)

· For security purposes, provide answers to four challenge questions.

3. Submit your FSA ID information.

· Agree to the terms and conditions.

· Verify your e-mail address and or cell phone number. (This is optional, but helpful. By verifying your e-mail address, you can use your e-mail address as your username when logging into certain ED websites. This verification also allows you to retrieve your username or reset your password without answering challenge questions.)

Parents of a dependent student will need your own FSA ID in order to sign your child’s FAFSA electronically. Parents may use the same FSAID for more than one child.

Your information must be correct with the SSA before your FAFSA or FSA ID can be processed. You must be sure the information you are entering will match the Social Security Administration verification. If you believe they may have the wrong name or date of birth, you need to go to www.ssa.gov to find out how to correct any errors.

Once your information is verified with the Social Security Administration (one–three days from the date you apply), you will be able to use your FSA ID to access your personal information on any of these ED websites, depending on what you need to do: www.fafsa.gov , www.StudentAid.gov/login or the National Student Loan Data System, www.nslds.ed.gov to view a history of any federal student aid you have received.

National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators

Award Package Comparison Worksheet

Different schools have different resources, so financial aid offers can vary greatly from school to school. Gift aid such as grants and scholarships are ideal, but often more limited. Use this worksheet to compare aid offers. When doing so, consider the amount of your federally-calculated expected family contribution (EFC) and the amount offered in "self-help" aid such as work-study and student loans. There may also be unmet need you need for aid that the school may be unable to fund--meaning that your parents may have to borrow additional funds through the student parent loan programs.

You will also need to know and consider each school's packaging philosophy to find out if a similar package will be offered in future years. If an institutional grant is offered, is it restricted to the first year or can it be renewed? If the school's web site or publications don't provide this information, call or visit the school's financial aid office.

Cost of Attendance Comparison Worksheet

The actual cost of attendance (COA) is unique for each student at each school. Some expenses are fixed (tuition and fees) and others are influenced and controlled by the student's lifestyle (housing and personal expenses). When considering the award package from a particular school, or in comparing packages from multiple schools, you can use this worksheet to compare your cost expectations to each school's estimated total COA. The goal of this comparison is to better decide if the difference is manageable given the resources available to your family and the aid being offered by each school.
