Highlands schedules financial aid meeting for students and parents on Sept. 15

David, a student announcer at Highlands High School, said students and parents are invited to a financial aid meeting on Monday, Sept. 15, at 7 p.m. in the pack. The announcement said the meeting is for families “wondering how to pay for college.”

The announcement was part of the school’s daily bulletin; no presenters, sponsoring office, or materials were named. The bulletin directed students to attend with parents but did not specify whether the meeting will include FAFSA help, scholarship application assistance, or college-admissions financial counseling.

Why this matters: financial aid information can affect students’ college-planning timelines and application decisions. The school announcement did not specify next steps for families unable to attend or whether the event will be recorded or require sign-up.

Details provided at the announcement: date (Monday, Sept. 15), start time (7 p.m.), and location ("the pack"). No cost, registration link, or contact person was given in the announcement.
