There is still time to get money for college!

Posted on: Jul, 15, 2024

The cost of college and career training can be a barrier for many students, so completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is essential for students to qualify for federal, state, and institutional funds. Students can receive up to $7,395 per year in Federal Pell Grants for the 2024-25 academic year. 

The FAFSA is the key that unlocks funding like grants, scholarships, and more. Plus, completing the FAFSA makes it easier to apply for other forms of aid, like GHC’s Food Grant.

The new, improved FAFSA form makes it simpler and more convenient for students to secure the financial aid necessary for college or career school.

While the priority deadline has passed and summer may be upon us, there is still time to complete the FAFSA form for the 2024-25 year. The most important thing now is to fill out the form and monitor emails to make sure your submission is accepted.

Learn more and apply at studentaid.gov. For more information on the FAFSA and other financial aid options, please contact the GHC financial aid office at 360-538-4081 or by email at finaid@ghc.edu.
