My College Scholarship

If you have questions or need assistance with any scholarships, please contact Ms. Carlson in the AHS College & Career Center at (507)460-1800 ext. 0151 or jane.carlson@austin.k12.mn.us.

Additional scholarship and general financial aid assistance can be found at the A.H.S. College & Career Center. The College & Career Center is open Monday through Friday, 7:35 AM to 3:35 PM and is located in room 151.

As a continuing reminder, most financial aid programs require the completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), including The Hormel Foundation Austin Assurance Scholarship (THFAAS). Although Austin High School will not be hosting any additional financial aid help nights, Riverland Community College will be holding several more help sessions on the Riverland campus. Please see the flyer below for the details. If you have not yet completed the FAFSA, this is a great opportunity to get assistance from the financial aid experts from Riverland Community College. All students and parents are welcome to attend.
