Do you know the steps you need to take to apply for college? Do you need money for college?
The 12th Year Campaign can help you with two important steps you need to take to go to college: applying for college and applying for financial aid. The first step is to file a FAFSA or WASFA financial aid application.
Join one of the events listed below to learn more and get help. Please note: Most events are offered virtually.
It's free to apply for financial aid! Beware of scams that ask you to pay to apply or get help applying. The FAFSA and WASFA are free to submit, and the resources and events below offer free support.
