About this course:
This mini course offers a detailed review of the two primary financial aid applications, the FAFSA and the CSS PROFILE. The seven modules address application rationale, processes and documentation requirements in a step-by-step fashion. The information will be presented in video format with supplemental handouts and readings. Hands-on exercises will give enrollees personal experience in completing the forms. There will be three Zoom-based sessions to provide the opportunity to discuss the process and to get individual questions answered.
