The financial aid office at FLCC will be presenting on the process of financial aid and completing the FAFSA. There will be time for Q&A, so bring any questions you have! Even if you've already filed the FAFSA, this may help address questions about "what's next" and what to expect!
Monday, November 14th @ 5pm (approx. 1 hour)

OTHER OPPORTUNITIES
YANA is a peer-support group for LGBTQ+ youth ages 10-17. YANA meets every Monday at 4pm via Zoom so as long as a student has a safe space to access the Zoom, there is a space for them at YANA. This may be a good resource for LGBTQ+ students looking to find support and community no matter where they are on their journey.
