December 4-7, 2017 | Financial Aid Workshop
Fifty-one River Watchers had the opportunity to attend a financial aid workshop this week, led by Aida and Jaime from Foundation Communities. Foundation Communities is a local nonprofit dedicated to providing affordable, attractive homes and free on-site support services for thousands of families, veterans, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. They offer an innovative, proven model that empowers their residents and neighbors to achieve educational success, financial stability, and healthier lifestyles. During the financial aid session, students learned about FAFSA preparation, TASFA preparation for DACA students, the financial aid process, and general information regarding how to get into college and where to find help.
