Financial Aid Information
Financial Aid Information
October 1st starts one of the most important components of the college admission process: securing the finances to pay for college. It is extremely important that Seniors and their parents/legal guardian complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (most commonly known as FAFSA) form and submit it to the federal government to determine their eligibility for financial aid . The FAFSA affords parents access to federal loans, grants, and scholarships based upon individual family need.

Meet Some Of Our Counselors
I love my job! As the College Counselor it is my duty to assist students in their academic endeavours, help them create a post-secondary plan, and make sure they graduate. Every interaction with students is different; some days it’s challenging, but every day is Rewarding!
-Kelli Maxwell
U Prep Counselor
I’m a product of University Prep Schools! I was a part of the first graduating class and it gave me the desire to return and give back to students. My favorite part about being a counselor is helping students become the best version of themselves mentally, academically, and socially.
