FAFSA Fridays with Get2College
Welcome to 2021! I wanted to share important FAFSA information for you to consider. Please see the list below.
- FAFSA COMPLETION NUMBERS ARE DOWN NATIONWIDE AND STATEWIDE. Please don’t fret if your students have not completed their FAFSA applications yet. See this article for more details. https://hechingerreport.org/a-worrying-trend-this-fall-decline-in-fafsa-applications/
- YOU WILL NO LONGER NEED TO SCHEDULE FAFSA DAYS WITH US FOR THE SPRING OF 2021. Get2College is happy to announce that we will continue hosting FAFSA FRIDAYS throughout the Spring of 2021. These virtual events will be offered from 9:00 am-5:00 pm, by appointment only. These FAFSA appointment slots will be offered statewide, so please encourage any interested students/parents to make an appointment using the link below. We understand that this year has been hectic and we want to take this off of your “To-Do” list. To spread the word, here is a link to a dropbox file with graphics so you can share this information on your social media platforms: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/v109mzx28my6pxt/AADzb6ghMSJJr5H_g_W0tqy9a?dl=0 .
- TO KEEP YOU INFORMED, WE WILL PERIODICALLY SHARE FAFSA COMPLETION DATA so you can monitor your students’ completion activity. This data can also be shared with principals and other administrators.
- WEEKLY, INDIVIDUAL APPOINTMENTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE. If your students/parents are unable to participate in FAFSA Friday, click below to schedule an individual appointment for another day.
