Research and Information For Parents
When is the time to
start applying for Student Financial Aid? After January 1st, the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid will be open for all students to apply for
the 07/08 academic year. Seniors and a parent will need a PIN number to use as
your electronic signature. You can both apply at www.pin.ed.gov. Once you have completed your tax forms for
the 2006 tax year, you can file your FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov. March 1 is the priority deadline but some
Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation funding is exhausted by that time. All
seniors are encouraged to complete the FAFSA as soon as possible after Jan. 1.
A financial aid specialist will conduct a workshop for all seniors and senior
parents on Jan. 28 at Clarksburg High School A.D. Jarrett
Gymnasium. Juniors and/or junior parents
may also attend to gather information in advance for next year!!

Research from The American Counseling Association
Relevant Research - Teens Will Cut Ethical Corners To Reduce Success
Pressure ~
A survey conducted by Junior Achievement
Worldwide and Deloitte & Touche USA reveals that two out of five teens (44
percent) feel either a lot or overwhelming pressure to succeed in school. Fully
half of all girls (50 percent), but only 38 percent of boys, feel the pressure
to do well academically.
How far will adolescents go to relieve the
pressures they feel? Cheat? Lie? The findings are contained in a survey report
available on the Junior Achievement web site. Go to: http://ja.org/about/about_newsitem.asp?StoryID=376
