Grant is hosting an in-person FAFSA and ORSAA Completion Night for seniors and their families​ in the GHS Library. Seniors ​and their families will hear about options for paying for college and work on completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Oregon Student Aid Application (ORSAA) with help from Grant staff and volunteers. Students and parents/guardians can register at ​bit.ly/GHS-FAFSA-DEC25. Space is limited​, and registration is required to attend. Students and one parent/guardian must create an FSA ID in advance of the event to participate. ​

Just a note that our presenter, Jennifer Satalino, The College Place Director, Oregon, will be wearing a mask and maintaining distance throughout the event. I encourage students and parents/guardians to email Jenn (jsatalino@ecmc.org) with personal questions rather than queue up to ask in person. You can also schedule a 30-minute virtual appointment with Jenn using this link. ​

Please contact Mary Beth Snell, College Coordinator, at msnell@pps.net if you have any questions.​
