Seniors and senior parents, On Wednesday, January 12th, from 5:00 to 8:00PM we will be having a senior scholarship night at the high school library. This one will be a little different then normal because Jodi from EducationQuest will be coming in and helping students and parents with their free application for federal student aid (FAFSA). For a lot of scholarships students need a FAFSA done, so it is important that students and parents both set up a FAFSA account and go through the process. The FAFSA will get you a expected family contribution (EFC) number which shows how much a family can help or not help a student pay for college. So then students EFC can qualify students for finical aid like grants, work study, scholarships and loans. Jodi is a pro at the FAFSA process and can really make the process easier and save you a trip to Kearney. So please try and make it tomorrow, Wednesday the 12th in the high school library between 5:00-8:00PM to have Jodi help you. When you come it shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes to get your account set up.

Cozad Community Early Education Center is now accepting applications for PreKindergarten for the 2022-23 school year. Open House on Thursday, February 17th. If you have any questions, please contact the Early Education Center at 308-784-3381
