FASFAA will again partner with the Florida College Access Network (FCAN) and Florida's Office of Student Financial Assistance (OSFA) to offer two virtual High School Counselor workshops in September. We will cover Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) basics and spend time delving into the difficult topics of unique family situations, professional judgments, and how to support our students who are ineligible for federal aid. If you are interested in assisting with this project, please complete a volunteer form and select 'Financial Literacy / Early Awareness Committee.'
