@FAFSA This issue is still listed as unresolved with no work around, has the issue been fixed or is this post premature? If the issue has not been addressed, lack of communication along with this post is very confusing and stressful for students with non-citizen parents.
The 2024โ25 FAFSAยฎ form will be released in December this year, not Oct. 1 ๐ โ

...And, there are big changes coming! Get ready for a revamped FAFSA experience and a smoother application process.โโ

Juniors, if you havenโt signed up for the June Test and you get free/reduced lunches, you can still test for free (the waiver will also work on the late fee). Email me for a code. ๐
Some statistics on this amazing honor: Only 2 National Scholars are selected each year from Kansas. Isaiaz and Kalon bring South Highโs total to 11 national scholars during the last 10 years. For state scholars, only 10 students are selected statewide. Go Titans!
