Finding money for college is a major part of getting ready to go. This handy schedule can help you keep up with financial aid deadlines, scholarship dates and everything in between.

Freshman, Sophomore and Junior Years

[] Work hard to maintain a high GPA, and take the ACT and/or SAT at least once by spring of your junior year.

[] Keep a list of all your activities, so you'll have a record when it's time to fill out applications.

[] Get a part-time job and start saving toward your education. Every little bit helps.

Senior Year: Fall

[] Keep your grades up!
