High school students may begin applying in the spring of their junior year. It is to each student's benefit to contact the school as soon as possible to meet scholarship deadlines as well as financial aid deadlines which must be met in order to receive funding.

What is the difference between an Associate in Specialized Business (ASB) degree and a diploma?
