Marysville Getchell High School

Hi Charger Seniors and Guardians! 

My name is Alicia Coragiulo (Ms. C) and I am your Career & College Readiness Counselor. 

I have had the pleasure of introducing myself to many of you. If you have not yet met me, please reach out and say hi! 

If you have not done so already, please add yourself to my Google Classroom [class code: pvwblss] via your student email. Please stay up to date on all emails and posts from me regarding important information and upcoming events including college resources for seniors, career & college readiness opportunities, scholarship opportunities, financial aid assistance, and more! 

Regarding financial aid applications this year, there are some important things to note:
Firstly, the 2025-26 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and WASFA (Washington Application for State Financial Aid) will not be available until December 2024. Applications usually open on October 1 of a student’s senior year, so this is a major shift in the college planning process. The good news is that this delay is due to positive changes in the process:

• The FAFSA form will be shorter and less complex.

• More students will be eligible for federal Pell Grants, and the average Pell award will be larger.

I will visit all of the senior social studies classes (Mr. Natterstad & Mrs. Edens) on Thursday, November 14th to assist students in creating their financial aid IDs for applications! This is a helpful first step to completing your financial aid applications! Please have the following available to you to help you in successfully completing your application ID:

• Social Security Number (If you have one)

• Full Name (As it appears on your Social Security card)

• Full Date of Birth

• Personal Email Address

 Stay tuned for more information regarding our upcoming district-wide Financial Aid Workshops:

• Tuesday, December 10th, at 6:00 PM, at Marysville Pilchuck High School - Library.
