EBHS Offers FASFA Nights

Free Application for Federal Student Aid
FAFSA Nights

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid opens on October 1, 2019 for students that will be seeking financial assistance for the 2020-2021 school year. Members of the Senior Class of 2020 who will be attending any institution of higher learning after graduation, are strongly encouraged to file the FAFSA as close to October 1 as possible. The financial aid is distributed on a first come, first served basis. Additionally, any student that plans to enroll in a dual credit course is encouraged to file as well. The application takes about an hour to complete and can be done from any computer or phone. The FAFSA website is user friendly and the application is free. Access the FAFSA website at - https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa

EBHS staff will be available on September 25 and September 26 from 5:30–7:00pm in the computer lab of the Main building to assist parents and students with the FAFSA application process. The application does require personal information and many families wish to complete it in the privacy of their own home, so this will be a come and go event, but we are here to assist as needed.

1) Federal Student Aid ID (both parent and student required to create FSA ID)
*created through the FAFSA website
2) Social Security Number
