​What can I talk about with my counselor virtually? 
  • Academics 
  • College and career planning 
  • “Well-being” checkup 
  • Due to lack of confidentiality in a virtual meeting, the counselors cannot discuss sensitive and private personal issues. If these issues arise during a conversation with the counselor, steps will be taken to direct you to the appropriate resources. 
  • If you are in a crisis, please inform your parents/guardians or a trusted adult. If necessary, call 911. 
  • Resources for support can be found on our Social Emotional Support page. 
 FINANCIAL AID 101
Even without a scholarship, there are plenty of other forms of aid that can help you tackle the cost. The financial aid system can be confusing, so don't feel bad if you're a little unclear about how it all works. There are scholarships and grants (which you don't have to pay back), and loans (which you do). Some of what you receive is based on income and some can be based on academic merit.  View the Financial Aide the video below to get more information about Financial Aide Opportunities

ADHS's Financial Aid Advisor is Mrs. Tori Sharpe who is familiar with the financial aid process and the difficulties of filling out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).  Mrs. Sharpe is located in Student Services on Tuesdays. Appointments may be made by emailing her at vsharpe@wcpss.net or stopping by Student Services. Don't miss the opportunity to learn about financial aid that is available to you and why every student going to college should submit a FAFSA.
