Financial Aid & Scholarships

Financial Aid for training beyond high school can come from many different sources and be in different forms. Scheduling an appointment with the financial aid office at the school the student is planning to attend after graduation is very important. It will give the student and parents a realistic view of the cost of that institution and any assistance available that you may not be aware of. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, can be found at  www.studentaid.gov. This is the form that students and parents must complete in order to determine what financial aid a student may be able to receive. Additional information about financial aid can also be found at www.pheaa.org

The CRHS School Counseling Office schedules a FAFSA Completion Night for students and parents each year, where you can come for help completing the form and understanding the process in general. Please make sure that you have provided your email address to the HS or through the PowerSchool Parent Portal in order to receive event info directly or you may also check the News & Events link on this page.
