Assisting students and parents with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and other financial aid applications
Hosting and sponsoring financial aid seminars in the fall and early winter (with multi-language translations)
Holding FAFSA completion clinics from October through February
Advocating for students with ‘special circumstances’ complicating the financial aid process
