Financial Aid Night

Tuesday, December 3

LHS Library

6:00PM – 7:30pm

LHS seniors and families are invited to our annual Financial Aid Night in the Lincoln High School library. Come learn more about ways to pay for your continued education. The LHS Counseling team and partners from the Seattle Promise program will be available to answer questions and assist with the financial aid application process. Attendees please bring laptops as there will be time to work on the financial aid application (FAFSA or WASFA)

Steps that students and families can take prior to attending the event:

• Creating an account on FAFSA or WASFA. Student and parent need to register for their own individual accounts.
  • Do this early as it can take 1-3 business days in order to receive an FSA ID # after creating the accounts.
  • Unsure which application to use? Students can take this quick questionnaire https://wsac.wa.gov/WASFAelig
• Gather the following documents:
  • Your child’s Social Security number (or A-number if they are an eligible noncitizen)
  • If you’re married; your spouse’s name, date of birth, Social Security number (if they have one), and email address
  • 2023 tax return documents, including federal income tax returns, W-2s, and other records of money earned from work for both you and your child (If you’re married and did not file taxes jointly with your spouse, you’ll also need your spouse’s tax information.)
  • Bank statements and records of investments, businesses, and farms (if applicable) for you and your child
  • Records of child support received (if applicable)
