GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (GRPS) -- Grand Rapids Public Schools and the Grand Rapids Promise Zone are teaming up to host multiple workshops for high school seniors in the coming months as they prepare for college.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a crucial step for high school seniors embarking on their journey to higher education. FAFSA is an essential tool in alleviating the financial burden of college education. It serves as the gateway to federal grants, loans, and work-study programs, providing financial assistance to students and making college more accessible.
During the workshops, experienced advisors will be available to guide scholars and their families through the application, ensuring they maximize their eligibility for financial aid. Attending a FAFSA Workshop is a proactive step toward securing the necessary resources for a successful college experience.
