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.
Athens Drive Magnet High School's Financial Aide Advisor is Victoria Sharpe. You can reach her at Vsharpe@wcpss.net.
