And there's more financial aid than ever before. MA Secretary of Education, Dr. Patrick Tutwiler, shares an important message about the value of filing the FAFSA.

Thanks to National College Attainment Network (NCAN) for sharing. It has been a bumpy start, but the reforms to FAFSA are going to make a lot more students eligible for Pell Grants than ever before, and that is one of the most important things to keep the focus on. #highered #highereducationleadership #highereducation #higheredleadership #FAFSA #FinancialAid

In support of the government’s FAFSA “Week of Action” (April 15-19), we’re offering financial aid assistance, virtual workshops & much more to ease college application stress. We will hold 3 virtual FAFSA completion workshops, April 16-18. These sessions are open to all, not just applicants to Widener. In light of the series of delays & impediments with this year’s FAFSA rollout, we've suspended our May 1 decision deadline, and provided a refund option on the university deposit, to give applicants more time to consider our financial aid package once it arrives. “We know the FAFSA delays have created a lot of stress for college-bound students in the class of 2024. Student well-being is central to our culture of belonging at Widener and we don’t want anxiety about this process to affect this exciting time in their lives.” ~ Joseph Howard, Widener Vice President for Enrollment More info on the Week of Action efforts, including workshop registration: https://lnkd.in/e2gWfgAx FAFSA info & updates: widener.edu/FAFSAupdates #WidenerUniversity #FAFSA #FAFSAWeekOfAction #CollegeDecision #FinancialAid
