TG's FAFSA Program Available to Schools and Community Organizations
Round Rock, TX — TG is again making available The FAFSA Made Easy, a video program to help students and families complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), to schools and community organizations.
The free program, in English and Spanish, will be provided to higher education institutions, high schools, libraries, community outreach groups, and faith-based organizations to make available to the students and families they serve. The FAFSA must be completed by students to apply for any type of federal and most state financial aid — student loans, grants, scholarships, and Work Study.
Schools and organizations can register to be host site coordinators to show the The FAFSA Made Easy video at local community events. Host site coordinators can register at TG's public service Web site, Adventures in Education, www.aie.org/FAFSAMadeEasy.
After registering, host site coordinators will be mailed a promotional packet that includes posters, flyers, sign-up sheets and other materials to promote the programs. DVDs of the program will also be shipped to the host site coordinators for viewing as early as February 1.
"This will allow host site coordinators to schedule the program at a time and place that are most convenient to the students and families they serve," said Richard Sapp, TG's director of pre-college success. "The program may also be broadcast over public access and school district television outlets."
For more information, contact Sapp at (800) 252-9743, ext. 2865.
