Financial Aid Nightfor
TUSD will be hosted by Torrance High on
Tues., Dec. 2nd at 6:30pm in the
Auditorium . Our presenter will give a
financial aid overview and discuss the
forms needed to apply. There will also be
a line by line presentation of the FAFSA.
All parents of seniors are encouraged to
attend. Even if your parents do not think
that they will qualify, please encourage
them to attend. Remember that while
attending a community college is less
expensive than a four year it is not
cheap, and there is financial aid
