Round Rock Independent School District issued the following announcement.
Fall college fairs are here. Now, being held virtually, college fairs allow students to pursue college opportunities safely and in a significant way.
College fairs offer students and their families vital information about college admission, financial aid, campus life, and how to select the best-fit college. This year’s virtual college fairs mean students and families can conveniently explore hundreds of higher education options, including visiting booths and having live one-on-one interactions with recruiters from colleges, universities, technical schools, and military branches from the comfort of their home.

The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) opens on Thursday, Oct. 1. When a student files the FAFSA, they may become eligible for scholarships or grants (based on need and merit), work-study programs or low-interest loans. For students to increase their chances of receiving the best financial aid packages for which they are eligible, counseling services recommend that every graduating senior fill out their FAFSA before Dec. 31.
