Celebrate and Learn During Financial Aid Awareness Month
Each fall, students across the country can begin the process of applying for financial aid through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Throughout the month of February, the higher education community, including NASFAA, celebrates Financial Aid Awareness Month, in an effort to provide crucial information to students and families about access to federal, state, and institutional student aid. You can find some of our ideas for reaching out to students this month by watching & sharing this video.
Be sure to keep NASFAA in the loop by sharing about your Financial Aid Awareness Month efforts and events on social media — including Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook — using the hashtag #FinAidFeb.
