Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):

As you may know, Round Rock ISD in partnership with the Austin Chamber of Commerce, 12 Metro Austin school districts, area colleges/universities, businesses, and community and faith-based organizations have scheduled over 29 Financial Aid Saturday events during the months of February and March throughout Metro Austin.

These events are scheduled on Saturdays, 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at area high schools. Round Rock ISD will hold Financial Aid Saturday events on:

February 27 at Stony Point High School in the Library

March 6 at Round Rock High School in the Library

The primary purpose of these events is to provide parents and students assistance with submitting their college financial aid applications and to provide consultation on the financial aid process with trained financial aid professionals from local colleges/universities and business-community volunteers. Income tax-preparation assistance is also available at select sites.

We are aware some parents think they should not come because they do not have all their documents ready or believe they might not qualify for financial aid. If you do not have all your documents, please come anyway so that we may help get you started. We encourage all families to apply for financial aid as there are some forms of financial aid available that can only be accessed by completing the financial aid application. We do not want you to disqualify yourself by not applying. The state of Texas also offers opportunities for undocumented students to apply for financial aid. Please contact your school counselor or college financial aid advisor for further details.

We want to see you at the next Financial Aid Saturday event. Services are free and open to all high school seniors, college students, and parents. We would very much like to see more Round Rock ISD students and parents take advantage of this great opportunity. Remember, the earlier you apply, the better! Submitting your application before March 31 may increase your financial aid opportunities. Check with your school for application deadlines.

For more information on the events, please call the Austin Chamber info line at 512.322.5696 or visit www.collegereadyaustin.com.

Thank you,

Jackie H.Young
