All seniors, regardless of attending a 4-yr, 2-yr, or vocational school will need to complete the FAFSA. Both you and your student will need to create an FSA ID prior to the event. Please do so by going to fsaid.ed.gov. These workshops will be a great opportunity to work on your student's FAFSA while having experts around to answer any questions that may come up. We hope to see you there!
