12th Grade

Congratulations on the upcoming graduation. Figured out how to pay for college yet?

Paying for college can be a lot easier for a man registered with Selective Service because if you don't register, you won't be eligible for student loans. To make sure you're eligible, register with the Selective Service when you turn 18. Visit your local post office or Selective Service System.
