       What is the FAFSA? When do I apply for the FAFSA? What does the FAFSA have to do with financial aid? What documents do I need to file the FAFSA? Do I need to submit the FAFSA every year?  What do I do if my (or parent’) income changes? Should I file for the FAFSA even if I don’t think I’ll qualify for financial aid? How much financial aid I can get? What is the FAFSA deadline for fall 2019? 
       讲座将员是一位非常有经验的家长,自己的孩子大学四年成功申请到十几万助学金。她愿意把她的经验和体会和大家分享。如果你有小孩在上高中或快要申请大学,一定抓住这个机会来了解一下如何筹划和申请。 
 
     b.  Seminar of Statesman Debate Institute (SDI) and ACFL  Nov 11 @2pm room 344
        On Saturday, November 11, from 2 to 3 PM, Dr Arminio will speak about speech and debate in general and The American Classical Forensics League (ACFL) and SDI in particular at the Guang Hua Chinese School! He is very grateful for this opportunity and wants to meet all interested parents and students. Don’t miss his free seminar!
       Of all the ways to raise up leaders, regardless of future profession, nothing compares to a well-run speech and debate league! The American Classical Forensics League (ACFL), for middle school and high school, is therefore of great importance and benefit to Chinese Heritage students.
