To all Sophomore, Junior and Senior parents -
On Sunday, September 15th at 5:30pm Prof. JoElyn Krohn, the Financial Wellness Coordinator at MLC, will share a virtual presentation with helpful information about completing the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The presentation will use MLC as an example, but the information shared is applicable no matter what college or university your child plans to attend. A link to view the presentation is located here. The presentation will share the following information:
- Creating a FSA ID username/password
- FAFSA tips and changes
- Cost of attendance (COA)
- Strategies for paying for college
- Grants/scholarships vs loans
- Additional resources
The FAFSA application was supposed to be available beginning December 1. However, when I went to the website today, it was already live. As for a deadline when the FAFSA needs to be completed, it is important to check in with your child's college(s) of interest to understand their expectations.
