Dear Postsecondary Completion Colleagues:
The National College Access Network (NCAN) just launched this year’s campaign to encourage high school seniors (and adults) to apply for federal financial aid. Materials include a guide for filling out the FAFSA (see below). This year's focus is on reaching low income and minority students.
- The Form Your Future campaign partners with celebrities and social media personalities to reach students.
- Here’s a sample video from College Humor: The Truth about Financial Aid
- FAFSA Guide from NCAN: Form Your Future
- FAFSA event toolkit here
What do you think? Would your students resonate with the videos? (There's more than one.)
Have you or your postsecondary partner held a “complete your FAFSA” event in the past? How did it go? How was it arranged/planned? Have advice for others?
