College Information & Financial Aid

Goshen High School students have a wide variety of opportunities to explore colleges and find the right fit for them.

College rep visits to GHS

Most local colleges will send a representative to Goshen High School to meet with interested juniors and seniors during Warrior Up bell. See the guidance office for more information!

 

In-person college visits

Financial Aid

In order to be eligible for ANY financial aid, all students and parents need to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). This application, which requires parent and student tax information, is what colleges use to create financial aid packages that will be offered to your student after they have been accepted.
 
Go to www.fafsa.gov to complete this application. If you need assistance, contact the GHS Guidance Office.
