Port Huron, MI — Port Huron High School has received recognition from the Michigan College Access Network as being among the Top Ten College Bound Michigan Host Sites with the most improvement for FAFSA Completion. Nearly 700 schools participated.
FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The Big Reds saw a 40% increase in completed FAFSA applications compared to this time last year.
Getting all the options on the table when deciding on what to do after high school is critical, but not easy. One part of the planning is being realistic about college costs. Completing the FAFSA is a crucial step in determining how much of a college bill students and their parents will be required to pay.
The driving force behind that increase in completion, and increase in knowing real options, is Port Huron High School’s AdviseMI College Advisor, Brandon Warlow.
Warlow said his focus has been on talking to the students and staying consistent with following up with them. He makes sure students know his goal is to help them establish a plan for after graduation no matter what and that college, trade schools, the military, or others are all great options and the one that is best for them is all dependent on their goals.
Congratulations to Port Huron High School on this important recognition!
