You must have already submitted a FAFSA in order to apply for a Scholarship.

In order to be considered for a scholarship at Calhoun, you must complete a Federal Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) form by March 1.  The application may be completed on-line at www.fafsa.gov.  Please note that this form may be completed using estimated figures and then updated when your 2008 income tax forms have been completed. If you use estimated tax figures and are notified that you have been selected for a scholarship, you must update your FAFSA with finalized tax information. If you do not complete the FAFSA by March 1 (using estimated or finalized figures), you will not be considered for a scholarship.
 

 

I have read and understand the information regarding completion of the FAFSA form.
