Financial Aid 101 (FA 101)/ FSA ID Workshop
Join us for an informative session about the ins and outs of financial aid! Whether you are a student, parent or guardian, this event is designed to help you navigate the financial aid process, including the FAFSA, scholarships, grants, and loans.
Time will be allotted for students (and parents, when required) to create FSA ID accounts, which require authentication up to five days before starting the FAFSA, at StudentAid.gov.
Make no mistake: Financial Aid is for EVERYONE.
During this in-person event, a financial aid expert will provide you with tips, information, and resources available to students in West Virginia as well as answer questions, ensuring you leave feeling confident and well-information about the financial aid process. Once the presentation is complete, there will be an opportunity for students and parents to create FSA IDs.
This event is free.
