***Any student planning on attending college in the fall of 2002, must fill out a Free Financial Aid Form for the college year 2002-2003 after January 30th. The earlier you fill out the form, the earlier you can get your financial aid package. You need to urge your parents if they file taxes, to do so as early as possible. 

***Please note that if you are a male it is your responsibility to register for the draft on your 18th birthday. Failure to do so will prevent you from receiving any financial aid and possible admittance into college.
