Counseling Dept. News:
FAFSA Deadline Approaching: March 1,
2017
As a reminder, priority consideration for State programs is given to
students whose Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is received at
the federal processor on or before March 1, 2017.
High school seniors who achieved a SAT score of 1200 or higher are
eligible for consideration for the Michigan
Competitive Scholarship (MCS). Additional criteria for eligibility, such as
demonstrating financial need at a Michigan institution, will be evaluated based
on a completed FAFSA.
MiSSG
portal users
may use the ACT/SAT Search tool to view high school seniors who took the SAT.
If a Social Security number (SSN) is not listed, the user may update each
students’ record and report their SSN. Our office needs the SSN to match the
FAFSA results to see if the student meets the qualifying need component to be
considered for the MCS. The SSN may be reported any time during the
2016-17 academic year.
MiSSG portal users may use the Print MCS Qualifying Students tool to
view a list of their students who meet the merit portion of the award.
Also available in MiSSG, a letter for MCS Qualifying Students and a MCS
Certificate of Achievement Template.
Please
contact us at mistudentaid@michigan.gov or 1-888-447-2687
if you need assistance or have questions.
Report Cards:
We
will not be mailing home hard copy report cards for 1st
semester. With access to parent portal
and the abilities we have now to constantly view our students grades, we do not
feel it is necessary to send home a copy.
If you have any questions please let us know.
