Information for seniors about final transcripts and Florida financial aid application

Seniors-

If you were absent the day that Ms. Patterson came into your English class to help you fill out the Florida financial aid form or the blue final transcript request form, then you still need to take care of those things.

Please stop by the counseling offices and fill out a blue ‘2015 Graduate Transcript Request Form’ then give the form to your counselor.  This form will ensure that your final transcripts are sent to the college(s) of your choice during the summer (late June/early July).  

You will also need to go to www.floridastudentfinancialaid.org and fill out the Florida financial aid application.  The helpful hints guide can be found here to help you with the process.  It’s really easy and it’ll only take about 15 minutes, if you need help = see your counselor.

A longer version of the classroom presentation can be found here:  http://leehighschoolgraduation.blogspot.com/2015/04/junior-classroom-guidance-lesson-from.html


The counselors will get a list of students who have errors on their Florida financial aid application, if that’s you then we will call you into our offices to help you correct the application.
