You can’t go to college without submitting your application first. Right now is the perfect time to apply, because October 1 - Novemeber 30 is the Free College Application Period. That means Seniors can apply to any of South Dakota’s public technical colleges and universities without having to spend a dime. See Mrs. Fischer for more information.
Seniors and Senior Parents FYI: The FAFSA will not be available until December or January 2024. Normally we would fill this out in October, but the government totally revamped the entire FAFSA and they are not done yet. So, we will be doing our FAFSA night with Scotland in December.
