Post-Secondary Resources for IHSCA student and DREAMers
Applying for college is confusing and at times overwhelming: however, with the support of your academic advisors every IHSCA student documented and undocumented will be provided an array options to help support any decision. The main goal of the IHSCA academic advisors is to provide and support each student along the college application and career selection processes. The Academic Advising department has put together these online resources to help students navigate and obtain information that will help in decisions students will need to take.
Financial Aid
With the support of the Illinois Assistance Commission (ISAC) all IHSCA Seniors are provided FAFSA completions support.
