Operation FAFSA #DoTheFAFSA
As you may be aware, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) has undergone significant changes recently, which has led to some confusion and difficulties for many students.
In response to these challenges, we've joined forces with FAFSA to provide comprehensive support to local students navigating the FAFSA process. This collaborative effort helps to confusion and difficulties, ensuring that all students have an equal opportunity to access the financial aid they need to pursue higher education.
​
This initiative is possible thanks to the support of the ECMC Foundation.
