One of the first steps needed to go to college is for a family to figure out the cost while securing financial aid. The FAFSA form to apply for federal student aid is changing this year, and seniors in the Class of 2024 will be the first to put it to use. The SAISD Postsecondary Initiatives department aims to make it the transition smooth and easy for families through a series of Financial Aid Nights across the district. The first of these events will be held at Brackenridge High School. All questions are answered. Parents bringing in their W-2s and 2022 tax forms will be able to leave these sessions with the FAFSA form completed and uploaded.
