The Bound Brook School District has taken a proactive approach to prioritize the well-being of all students and staff.
Student Support Services at Bound Brook High School help to serve students, parents, teachers and administration. Students may access services in the guidance office by making appointments with the counselors assigned to them. Counselors are available to assist and advise students about personal problems, academic problems, career choices, course selections, college choices and scholarship applications. The department also assists in student orientation information services and standardized testing. The guidance office is open during regular school hours and throughout the summer.

Please register by emailing Mrs. Colon (dcolon@bbrook.k12.nj.us). These events will inform on all aid options available for college including the FAFSA. In addition, see below for resources for those who want to get started early.
What is the FAFSA®?
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) is an online form that must be submitted annually by current and prospective college students (undergraduate and graduate) in the United States to determine their eligibility for federal student financial aid.
Why do I need to file a FAFSA®?
The U.S. Department of Education uses the information provided on your FAFSA® to determine your eligibility for aid from federal student financial assistance programs. New Jersey uses the FAFSA® to determine your state grant and scholarship eligibility. Colleges and universities may also use the FAFSA® data to award their own aid.
What you will need to start your FAFSA®:
- FSA ID (FAFSA Student Aid) for Parents and Students
- 2022 Tax Returns for Parent and Student
- Social Security Numbers for Parent and Student
- Other Income Information
- State Issued Driver’s License
- Documentation as U.S. Permanent Residents or Eligible Citizens
