Scholarships & Financial Aid

Students, and parents, are often intimated by the financial aid process. Flushing High School offers support for students every step of the way through this process. Flushing Hosts a Financial Aid Night for students and parents. In addition, our CBO partners AAFE and college advisor, work individually with students needing additional support. Subsequent workshops are held for students and parents to assist them through the entire process. Find out more below!

Do you need money to go to college?

You probably need to fill out the federal government’s Free Application for Federal Student Aid, better known as the FAFSA. This is the first step if you want financial aid from the federal and state government or most colleges. Filling out the FAFSA can be intimidating. Don’t worry: the College Office is here to help!

The FAFSA is an online form designed to take you step-by-step through the questions you need to answer. There is also a great hotline to call for help. As you fill out the form, you can speak with an expert at 1-800-433-3243 who can give you good advice on any question you have. (Some people prefer to fill out the FAFSA on paper and mail it in. That option is available. The FAFSA hotline can help with this as well.)

Contact Ms. Summers, College Advisor at lsummers@schools.nyc.gov for an appointment regarding financial aid assistance.
Begin the FAFSA process now!

If you have questions about the FAFSA:

Call the FAFSA hotline at 1-800-433-3243. Call this number for advice on filling out the FAFSA form and for help on other federal financial aid issues. Experts are available to answer your questions Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. (Eastern Time).

The government also provides useful information about the FAFSA and other financial aid options on its Federal Student Aid website.

Planning to file your FAFSA online?

You and your parents will need to get a Personal Identification Number (PIN) so that you can all sign the form electronically. Sign up for a FAFSA PIN today.

Immigrant Resources

Check out the FHS Guidance Page for support services for immigrant families. On this page you will find scholarships and other resources related to post-secondary options.

Attention Seniors:

There is a scholarship specifically for undocumented students which can pay up to $25,000 in books & fees. Any high school senior who is planning to attend college in the fall at one of the partner colleges is eligible.

*DREAMers came to the United States as minors, have graduated from U.S. high schools or earned a U.S. high school equivalency but lack a legal status. This prevents them from accessing any federal aid to help pay for their college education. In order to apply for THEDREAM.US Scholarship, DREAMers must be DACA eligible and have applied for or received DACA approval. Non-U.S. citizens who have received an official Temporary Protected Status designation form the United States may be eligible in certain circumstances.
