Maybe you didn't end up at the school you expected, decided to stay closer to home, or deferred while figuring out your next step.
Did you know you can still apply and register in time to start classes this August, September, or October? If you haven't filed your FAFSA, there's still time to complete it and be considered for federal financial aid, too.
Get it done. Be ready to start this fall: https://bit.ly/3SeePmW
