The PCHS Counseling Office will be hosting FAFSA completion nights on December 12 and February 19th at 6pm in the Dragon Commons. All students, regardless of attending a 4-yr, 2-yr, or vocational school will need to complete the FAFSA. Both you and your student will need to create an FSA ID prior to the event. Please do so by going to https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch. These workshops will be a great opportunity to work on your student's FAFSA while having experts around to answer any questions that may come up. We hope to see you there!
