               !!IMPORTANT FAFSA CHANGE!!            
The US Dept. of Education has notified MHS that we will no longer receive bundles of printed FAFSA forms.  Students must request a copy sent to their mail address beginning January 1, 2009, by calling 1-800-433-3243.  Allow 3-7 business days for your form to arrive.

Using the on-line form is preferred.  It is faster and because of live help, applicants are less likely to make a mistake that slows down the process in back-and-forth "snail mail." The link is at the top of this page. You can apply for your PIN number before January 1, 2009. However, the FAFSA site will not be active for entering financial information until January 1, 2009.

         ~~~REGISTERING FOR SELECTIVE SERVICE~~~
                      (Males)
ALL MALES must register with Selective Service to be
eligible to receive federal or state financial aid, including the Tenn. Lottery scholarships.  The link is at the top of this page.
