December & January: Stay On Track

  • Submit remaining applications for college, job training or other post-high school plans.
  • Organize regular decision applications and financial aid forms. Pay attention to deadlines.
  • Submit your scholarship applications and watch for deadlines.
  • Submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid as soon as possible after October 1 to be eligible for federal grants, loans and work-study funds. The sooner you complete it, the sooner you will have an idea of your financial aid options.
  • Attend a FAFSA Completion workshop held at your school. Visit www.delawarestudentsuccess.org/events for details.
  • Start to think about how you will spend the summer after graduation. Consider applying for a summer camp or program at a university or an internship or job in a field you’re interested in. Many college orientations take place in the summer, so include them in your plans.
  • Make sure you’re doing everything needed to graduate.
  • Ask your counseling office to send first semester transcripts to schools where you applied.
