College and Future Planning

It’s time for TAHS seniors to start planning for life after graduation! Now is a great time to:
 Apply to colleges, trade schools, and career training programs. Review application requirements and keep track of deadlines.
 Begin the financial aid process. Plan to complete the FAFSA and explore available financial aid opportunities.
 Apply for scholarships. Look for local, school-based, and national scholarships. Pay attention to eligibility requirements and application deadlines!
 Request letters of recommendation. Ask teachers, counselors, or other trusted adults early, and provide your deadlines and information about your goals and accomplishments.
Support is available throughout this process! Please reach out to Mr. Brennan to schedule a meeting for help with applications, financial aid, scholarships, or recommendation requests.

Parents & Guardians:
Community college may be more affordable than you think! Massachusetts offers programs that can make community college tuition and fees free for eligible students. If you have questions about eligibility, the application process, or options at BCC and Massasoit, please feel free to reach out to Kevin Brennan, School Counselor at (508) 844-5824. I’m happy to help your student explore their options and take the next step toward college.
