With U.S. university tuition continuing to rise, the financial burden on families is becoming heavier. HS2 Academy understands your need for financial aid. The 2026 FAFSA Application is now available, and starting this year, HS2 will also provide full guidance for the CSS Profile—a major upgrade to our financial aid service!
We are offering free online workshops for HS2 families to guide parents step by step in completing these applications. Parents of non-12th graders are also welcome to join to prepare in advance.
Non-HS2 families may attend by paying $300 per workshop.
