Remember, before you can edit anything on this page, you have to do what?

The majority of you will be editing pages that already exist, so you'll be looking for words that are misspelled or text that needs to be updated with new information. So, as you work your way through the text on this page in both this column and in the right column, be aware of the content so can you notice any misspellings or letters that need to be capitalized, or the words "Empty" that should be deleted, etc. There are a few, but not too many.  After reading this, you can delete this blue highlighted text.  

 

Homecoming is Oct. 23-25, 2025.

At the heart of Northwestern traditions is the homecoming event. The Alva community, Northwestern alumni, current students, faculty and staff, as well as prospective students and bands from surrounding areas join in celebrating the Ranger family. Homecoming events such as the Miss Cinderella Pageant for high school senior females, the homecoming parade, band and parade float competitions, Ranger Royalty, and more are all funded strictly through the purchase of Northwestern’s annual themed homecoming button.

Copying Text Using Source Button

Using the section directly below of the words to the Fight Song, click inside that text box area, then click the Source button (top left of the tool bar). Copy the html code of the text, then paste it below these blue instructions. NOTE: If you copy from Source, you must paste into Source because that is HTML code, so after copying from the Source below, you need to open the Source button from this text box and scroll to the very bottom of the page to paste the code. Sometimes if I'm trying to copy Source code in the middle of a long batch of Source text, I'll hit enter a couple times and type in a few capital XXXXXXX so it might be easier to find where I'm supposed to be pasting my Source text.

NOTE: Nothing to change here - just info:

You DO NOT need to format the text of the words at left. They are set up to be all caps even if you do not type them as all caps. If you copy/paste a word into the area at left, you will need to strip the formatting from the text for the words to appear correctly. See what they should look like by using your Incognito page and browsing to /homecoming.

Each homecoming button is numbered and has a chance to win $500 in Alva Chamber Bucks.

Financial Aid FAQs


A few questions and answers about Financial Aid:

Do I have to include my parents' information on the FAFSA?

There are 13 questions on the FAFSA that determine whether a student is “independent” or “dependent.” If you can answer any one question “Yes” and have the documentation to verify the answer, you are “independent” and can skip questions about your parent’s income and assets.

Can I work during the break between semesters?

Any work performed by a student during breaks must be approved in advance by the Financial Aid Office.
