FAFSA Night

By Colton Sierra ‘14

On Wednesday February 26th, the seniors and their parents will attend a dinner that could lend a hand to their futures as they prepare for life after high school. The students will meet in the commons for the annual FAFSA Night led by our very own Nakina Mills.

Free Application for Federal Student Aid, otherwise known as FAFSA, is the largest provider of student financial aid in the nation. FAFSA has provided more than $150 billion each year to 15 million students.

The FAFSA Night serves as an informational dinner. Nakina wants to teach the process for applying and receiving aid from this program. She has been putting this dinner on for the two years that she has worked here, but it has been going on for over ten years.

“This dinner is going to be very helpful and informational for the students and for the parents,” said Nakina as she was in her usual haste. Nakina Mills is one of the busiest workers here at Red Cloud High School.

My fellow seniors, FAFSA Night is for you and your own benefit. Attending this dinner would help your future greatly. So I am encouraging all of you seniors who have no clue about FAFSA to show your faces at the Cuny Commons and get ready for a night full of knowledge.
