(LEX 18) — The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a unique process for every family. There are many variables that families must consider, including financial need, scholarships, and the loans available to people after graduation.
That’s why the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority hosted a FAFSAThon event today at the Kentucky Castle. The goal of the event was to provide high school students and their families with more financial literacy about the cost of college.
“It’s no secret that college education is expensive, so most families need help paying tuition, room, board and transportation,” says KHEAA’s vice president of government relations, communications and public affairs.
Dolan says there was a decline in FAFSA applications submitted this year because of technical issues and other problems that prevented access to the website’s materials. However, the overall changes FAFSA has made to the application itself are good, according to Dolan.
With the fall semester just around the corner, Dolan recommends anyone with additional questions visit the FAFSA website. She says there are many resources available to families; they just need to know how to find them.
