High school graduates—it’s not too late to apply for financial aid for college and technical schools! The first step is to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This application shows students their eligibility for grants and loans, and is used by colleges across the country to develop each student’s financial aid package.
Filling out the FAFSA often shows students that college can be affordable through grants and loans and opens a pathway to college or technical school.
Families and students who have questions about the FAFSA can visit an MPS College and Career Center to learn more. Three MPS high schools will have College and Career Centers open this summer, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Centers will be closed on June 19 and July 4.
- Hamilton High School, 6215 W. Warnimont Ave., Milwaukee, 53220, (414) 327-9457
- Obama School, 5075 N. Sherman Blvd., Milwaukee, 53209, (414) 393-5164
- James Madison, 8135 W. Florist Ave., Milwaukee, 53218, (414) 393-6253
MPS College and Career Centers can help students fill out the FAFSA, explore colleges, write essays, and complete college applications. Both MPS and non-MPS students can contact any College & Career Center to get the help they need from a college and career advisor.
