Helping Students Pay for College
The cost of higher education weighs heavily on many with the hopes of a degree. With changes to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, applying for support is easier and more accessible for students. Yet many students may not be aware of their options. How can colleges ensure that students are getting the aid available to them to make college more affordable?
The Chronicle brings together a panel of experts to discuss smart ways to help students access the funds to pay for college. In this virtual forum, we’ll take a look at how changes to the FAFSA may affect applicants and discuss resources that go beyond federal aid. Join us as we examine:
- How can colleges leverage changes to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid?
- What financial hurdles do students still face despite these changes?
- Outside of federal assistance, how are institutions making sure they are making the right institutional-aid offers?
