Financial Aid Information

Financial Aid Information Night : Thursday September 29, 2022 @ 6:00 pm in our Performing Arts Center

Our financial aid information night is intended for parents/students of grades 9-11. We will have the TRiO Connections for Central Florida team to cover general information regarding Financial Aid and our Brantley counselors will discuss the Bright Futures Scholarship information. There will be time for Q&A's at the end of the presentation. Please arrive a few mintues early so we can start on time.

One & Done Lab Night: LBHS student services will host our first event of the year on October 4th from 5:30-7:00 pm in our media center

Class of 2023- if you need help completing your Financial Aid application, need to complete the Seminole State College Application and/or need to register to vote, you are going to want to attend this event. We will have representatives from TRiO, SSC and the League of Women Voters on hand to help students and their parents complete these important applications. Make sure you bring all necessary documents and people (parent/guardian) with you to this event.

Lake Brantley Student Services started our One & Done lab night in the Spring of 2019. The idea was to organize an event where parents and students of seniors can come and get assistance completing their financial aid application, apply for admission with Seminole State College and register to vote. Each of these events will be held in our media center and do require that the student and parent/guardian attend together.
