Fall is college application season! This is a topic of great interest and importance for seniors and their parents. Please be aware that most applications must be submitted between November 30th and February 1st 2012. This is the time to start applying for scholarships and requesting your Personal Identification Number (PIN). A PIN is needed to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). When applying for federal aid, you must have a Pin number. The PIN serves as an electronic signature for students and parents. Since signatures are required on the FAFSA application, registering and using the PIN helps speed up the application process. Both students and parents must have a PIN. To access the Federal Student Aid PIN site registration, please visit www.pin.ed.gov.
You can also obtain your PIN number, by calling me directly at (702) 799-5766 x 4302 and I can guide you through the website. Another option is to stop by the College Center where I can assist you and your student with the Federal Student Aid PIN site registration page. Please feel free to stop by the College Center between the hours of 7:00am-2:00pm. Lastly, the Counseling Department will be hosting a Pin Night. It will be held December 13, 2011 from 6:00-7:30pm in the B-113. You and your student can stop by and obtain your PIN that evening by accessing the Federal Student Aid PIN site registration page. Counselors will be there to help you navigate through the site if you have not already done so. I encourage you to apply for your PIN number as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Ms. Clavel
