High School Counselor Resources

As a trusted source of insight and guidance for your students, we know and appreciate your need for quality information.  Here are some more common topics of interest to counselors, advisors and teachers as you assist your students in making the transition from high school to college.

Financial aid - The Financial Aid Office assists students in applying for federal, state, and institutional funds to help them meet their educational costs. Students may apply for grants, loans, and work assistance. Most of the funding is based on the family's financial situation; therefore, the student must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility. 

CSC’s Federal School code is 007265.
