College Guidance

Seniors

Financial aid letters from colleges should be available between now and mid-March. Preliminary letters may be released as colleges work to finalize student aid. Schools are dependent on your FAFSA information to complete this process. If you need help sorting through the variety of letters students may receive, check here for a worksheet and accompanying analysis tool that may be helpful. Please reach out to the college's Financial Aid offices with questions.

Juniors

Junior parents, please find a letter from me about Junior meetings linked here! Please use this link to sign up for a meeting today. Times have been updated for the next few weeks! A reminder, students cannot miss an academic class to attend this meeting. Please check with your child to schedule a meeting that works for everyone. They may miss art, strength, or a study hall. If you do not see a time that will work with your schedule, please email ashley.hairr@oakbrookprep.org to set up a different time.

FASFA

Colleges depend on your FAFSA information to complete their financial award letters. Now is the time when students will be receiving their admissions decisions. In order to avoid delays in financial aid packets, complete your FAFSA soon! Let Mrs. Hairr know if you have any questions or concerns about the FAFSA Application.
