Hello Sophomore Families,
Reminder that TOMORROW from 6:00-7:30 pm, we will be hosting our 10th Grade Families Financial Aid Night on the DVC floor (Room 3203).
Why Attend Now?
Many families are surprised to learn that financial aid is based on income from a specific tax year—not senior year itself.
Did you know?
Students in the Class of 2028 will use their 2026 tax return when completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) during their senior year.
That means the financial decisions you make now can directly impact how much aid your student may be eligible for later.
What You’ll Learn
Join our DVC Financial Literacy Teacher, Mr. Jackson, for an engaging and practical workshop covering:
-
How the FAFSA works and what it looks at
-
What “prior-prior year” tax information means for your family
-
Smart money and tax strategies to consider before filing 2025 taxes
-
How to maximize eligibility for grants and scholarships
-
Common financial aid myths—and what actually matters
This session is designed to be accessible, informative, and empowering, whether college feels far away or right around the corner.
