FAFSA Supports-ASCA Postsecondary Affinity Group Meeting

With the release of the new FAFSA, the ASCA Postsecondary Affinity Group hosted a panel discussion on FAFSA Supports at their February meeting. Panelists discussed what they are currently seeing in their schools with the new FAFSA, how school counselors can adapt to help their students, how to leverage their state agencies and colleges to help students fill out their FAFSA, and what they are hoping to see in the future with the new release.

Panel speakers:

• Jerry Cebrzynski, Associate Vice President for Financial Aid, Lake Forest College
• Tiffanie DeVan, Higher Education Access Partner, Pennsylvania Higher Education
• Dr. Jennifer Kirk, School Counselor and Curriculum Leader, Upper St. Clair High School
• Amy Thompson, College & Career Counselor, York Community High School

The Postsecondary Affinity Group meets once a month to facilitate connections among school counselors and providing a space to discuss relevant topics in the postsecondary world. You can find more information about ASCA Affinity Groups here.
