<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I do a variety of different things. I will offer several FAFSA events on campus in our computer labs. Sometimes I will run these during the day if I can have
a team member step away that long, possibly a student worker will help facilitate or I will even handle it myself. For instance we have an all-day FAFSA session tomorrow and Thursday here on campus. This is open to both on and off campus students and anyone
from the community. We make sure to post it on social media and share with all of our local school counselors.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">In regards to the FAFSA events at schools. We try to collaborate with admissions so that we are in attendance with them if possible. We will sometimes offer
a presentation and then FAFSA assistance for a couple of hours. We will go out and just do a FAFSA event only, where we just offer up our time for a couple of hours to help. We don’t do one-on-ones because that is too time consuming. We will have them all
in one room and we will walk around and answer questions as need be. We typically start with FSAID or request that students/parents complete those before attending the event. We share this with the school counselors to at least get that part of the process
out of the way before we arrive. We tell students a lot of times they can just come in and use the computers in our lobby area and we will answer questions if they need us.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I’ve found offering a FAFSA event/workshop between 3 and 5 sometimes helps too. This way it’s still during business hours, school is out and they can come to
campus. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I do offer one-on-one FAFSA assistance in my office by appointment. I’m also a big believer of sharing my cell phone information on my business card. I answer
questions regarding FAFSA/financial aid via text, email and phone call also. <o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Just wanting to get an idea of how other directors handle the request of your office to come and have FAFSA nights at their area high schools? We are having several requests for us to come for
either an individually planned night or for parent/teacher conference night in order to help students/parents to fill out the FAFSA. The request is that we will come and work with each individual student/parent one on one to complete each of their applications,
resulting in a 3-4 hr time span in the evening.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Any information would be greatly appreciated, as we are a small office and don't always have the time or the staff to send someone to help with each individual student.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
