Help with College Financial Aid

The BISD Guidance and Counseling Department will host five Financial Aid Completion Nights in February at district high schools. Trained personnel will be available to assist parents and students in completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). In order to complete a FAFSA application, parents are asked to bring a 2009 income tax form with W-2 and student’s 2009 income tax form, if applicable. Social Security, TANF Benefits, or child support documents for 2009 are also needed, if applicable. A completed FAFSA qualifies students for federal and state aid as well as student and parent loans. For more information, call Pilar Janis in the Guidance & Counseling Department at (956) 548-8251.
