It's never too early to start planning for your life after high school.
It is never too early to begin planning, both academically and financially, for life after high school. All students should graduate high school with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to navigate and succeed in the postsecondary education or training necessary for their chosen career.
Whether a student wants to go to college or get a job after graduation, getting the best possible foundation is essential. Taking the right courses now will allow students to follow their chosen path.
Although earning a college degree, technical certification, or professional license requires a great deal of time, effort, and planning, it also provides knowledge, experiences, and options that will last a lifetime.Academic Planning

The CSS/FINANCIAL AID PROFILE is a supplemental financial aid form required by some private colleges to determine your Expected Family Contribution. Some colleges require this in addition to the FAFSA. It is a fully online service that helps colleges and organizations award their private student aid funds. The CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE Student Guide will be available on Oct. 1 at https://student.collegeboard.org/css-financial-aid-profile. Some local schools requiring the CSS/FINANCIAL AID PROFILE are Cornell University, Nazareth College, Syracuse University and the University of Rochester. The fee is $25 for the application and $16 for each additional school report.Free On-Demand Webinar: Completing the FAFSA – What You Need to Know
