In this tutorial walk-through, Kierstan Dufour, Assistant Director and Project Manager at Get2College, guides students and parents on how to fill out the 2023-24 FAFSA for dependent students from start to finish.
The FAFSA or Free Application for Federal Student Aid is the first step to opening up opportunities for students and families to pay for college. Colleges use information from the FAFSA, such as your household size, dependency status, wages, and earnings, to determine how much a student can put toward college and how much financial aid assistance they want to award to get them to campus.
Teachers and Educators can help high school seniors and their families file and renew their FAFSA by using this Get2College walkthrough using the Federal Student Aid FAFSA website - https://studentaid.gov
Get2College, a program of the Woodward Hines Education Foundation, aims to help students and their families plan, prepare, and pay for college by providing free college planning services such as College search, ACT prep, and financial aid assistance. Get2College is able to service the state of Mississippi out of its three centers in Southaven MS, Jackson MS, and Ocean Springs MS.
