FAFSA Hot Topics: This breakout session will be led by a seasoned financial aid administrator from one of our New Jersey colleges or universities. The discussion will address some of the most commonly asked topics that families may ask when completing the FAFSA. This informative session will enable school counselors to better guide families through specific FAFSA questions or concerns.

Case Study Analysis (in-person only): This session will cover the most common scenarios you may get from your students and parents. You will have an opportunity to share your own scenario you may have experienced at your school.
