This is a great opportunity to ensure your FAFSA is completed accurately and on time! Our team will be available to answer questions and guide you through the process.

Why is FAFSA important? It determines your eligibility for federal and state financial aid, as well as scholarships from many colleges and universities.

Bring your 2023 tax documents and other necessary financial information.

Parents/guardians are encouraged to attend!

Translators will be there! Don’t miss out on the chance to secure financial aid for college!

State Superintendent's Student Advisory Council

The State Superintendent's Student Advisory Council is a diverse group of High School juniors and seniors from across all 8 of NC's State Board Regions. Each member serves a two-year term and meets biweekly to discuss education issues that leaders across North Carolina could solve and advocate for.

During each of their terms, advisors also will develop two proposals for the State Superintendent's office, or General Assembly members through a comprehensive presentation that outlines ways to create change through policy or legislation.
