The EducationQuest Foundation will be hosting a series of virtual events this fall focused on financial aid and college planning.
Daphne Hall is the Senior Vice President for College Access Programs. “Every year, millions of federal student aid dollars remain unclaimed due to confusion about the financial aid process. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) opens doors to vital funding opportunities, including scholarships, grants, work-study, and loans”, she said.
In September and October, a series of webinars will be presented on understanding the financial aid process. Students who attend the Financial Aid Programs are eligible to enter a drawing for one of six $500 scholarships.
Advanced registration is required and can be completed at https://eqf.org/EvntCal.
