    This document will help you keep track of everything you need to do in your senior year.

    College Applications

    When starting the process of applying for colleges, students should first visit the college websites directly to determine what website should be used to complete college applications.  Some colleges will require students to complete the applications on their website, while some colleges utilize outside application sites, such as GAFutures (in state schools only) and Common Application.

    GAFutures

    GAFutures is your one stop shop for postsecondary planning! All students are encouraged to create a GAFutures account. When creating an account, please be sure to include your social security number, which will need to be entered to assist with securing HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarships/Grants. Creating a GAFutures account allows you to research and save information regarding colleges and scholarships, career assessments, and financial aid. In addition, upon senior year, students can send transcripts to in state colleges and NCAA and apply for colleges directly on GAFutures.
