Grand Island Senior High (GISH) has developed a new Senior Launch Program to help support all graduating Seniors be more confident in venturing to their next chapters after high school.
Specifically, how our dedicated staff at GISH and GearUp help Seniors and their families for complete the FAFSA form.
Starting this school year, the state of Nebraska has a new graduation requirement for all public school districts: Every graduating Senior must complete the FAFSA form in order to graduate.
As you’ll hear in the following discussion, the FAFSA form isn’t new. But having it as a graduation requirement is. So, as forward-thinking educators, our team at GISH & GearUp wanted to take a proactive approach to helping Seniors and their Families navigate this requirement — by helping all graduates better understand the exciting opportunities and choices they have in front of them. And yes, the FAFSA form helps in that regard quite a bit – especially when considering college opportunities.
With this information being so important, we wanted to provide these conversations in both English and Spanish so we may reach as many families as we can in a helpful way.
This episode will be in English. We’ve added a second episode to our feed covering the same conversation completely in Spanish as well.
Because it's all about empowering students to be College, Career, & Community Ready.
