FAFSA & CADAA Support

Due to the faulty rollout of the new FAFSA and its technical glitches we are offering financial aid clinics and virtual appointments this summer!

Schedule A Virtual Appointment

Meet with one of our trained virtual advisors who can help you submit or make corrections to your FAFSA or CADAA and answer any questions about financial aid or paying for college.

Yes, they are free! And, you’ll receive $25 just for booking your appointment or attending a clinic near you.
