    Not planning to go to college? 
    We strongly encourage ALL of our high school seniors to complete the FAFSA, it costs nothing to apply.  Once you discover you may be eligible for grants or federal aid you may find that attending college may be right for you. We have seen a large majority of students who do not plan on attending college, later change their mind at last minute and after the FAFSA widow has closed. We want everyone to have all of the opportunities possible and completing it sooner than later, this improves your chances of  qualifying for an award ($$). Stop by the Career Center for computer access and in person assistance.


Counselor Tips!
  • Your Norco High School records, the FAFSA, all University Applications, and Scholarships must use the EXACT same demographic information below on each submission:
    • Your full, LEGAL name, (Is it Mike or Michael).
    • The address you have listed for Norco High School. Did you move and not tell us?
    • Your date of birth.
  • You and your parents must SIGN and SUBMIT your applications.
  • RESPECT ALL DEADLINES: The FAFSA window opens October 1
  • The following is highly suggested:
    • File your FAFSA ASAP for the best financial aid opportunities.  
    • Keep a "College" calendar or app with all things and only things college related with ALL the deadlines.
    • Create a professional "college" only email account (such as a gmail account).  Your NHS student email will disappear once you graduate.
