Eagle Pass ISD - As our high school seniors finish
up their college admission applications, their attention turns to the pending
deadlines for financial aid forms. Financial Aid can be a source of stress
and frustrations for students and parents alike. That is why EPISD students can
turn to “Financial Aid Nights” taking place this month for free assistance with
successfully completing these forms correctly and in a timely manner.
Seniors students, along their parents are encouraged to attend this
informative sessions to get a better understanding of the student aid process
and how best to begin planning to fund their higher education.
College Advisors from both high schools will be
available to provide information and answer questions and concerns. Parents and students will learn what they need
to do to apply for all types of financial aid, and will complete the FAFSA
which is required to qualify for most student aid programs such as the Texas
Grant, Federal Pell Grant, institutional awards and low-cost federal student
and parent loans.
Participants will also be briefed on the importance
of searching out free money awards like scholarships to help pay for education
costs. Please bring with you social security
numbers, driver’s license number, last year’s tax information or tax returns
for you and your child.
Attending Financial Aid Night can be a good first
step for parents and students with plans of attending college. Financial Aid
Nights will be held:

“Our district has made
great strides at preparing students for college, but the cost of higher
education has never been more challenging” stated Superintendent of Schools,
Gilberto Gonzalez. “Just sending kids to college is not accomplishing the
ultimate mission. Parents, completing the FAFSA form are a critical
continuation to your child's education. It is one of the most
important things you can do with your child for their future.”
