Event for counselors and advisors

With the FAFSA delay and major changes to eligibility, students and families are uncertain and anxious about what’s ahead. Counselors are as well! In addition to a new formula for financial aid eligibility, there is a significant overhaul to the application process. Both pose new challenges as well as opportunities.

Join Paul Martin from College Money Method to learn about the changes to FAFSA and ways college counselors can help students and families prepare.

Counselors: Join us to learn about a new opportunity within MyCoalition that aims to extend the runway to college.

Beginning this fall, 9th and 10th graders can opt in to an experience that will connect them to college advice from Coalition schools, virtual events for students just beginning to consider college, and introductions to Coalition tools that will help them form good habits early. 

Register for a Zoom webinar to learn more about these MyCoalition updates, provide feedback, and learn how to share this free opportunity with your students, especially those who have been traditionally underrepresented in higher education.

MyCoalition is more than a college application. Learn about the tools available through this free, online platform designed to help students learn about and prepare for college, as early as 9th grade. These tools include the Collaboration Space, enabling students to share their college planning virtually with trusted mentors. Join the Coalition for College for this discussion and demonstration, which will also include a conversation about the work the Coalition is doing to help address the challenges created by COVID-19.

This free webinar is hosted in partnership with the National Partnership for Educational Access.

Note: time is Eastern.

At this event, you’ll learn about all-expenses-paid overnight visit programs, often referred to as “fly-in” programs, that many schools offer for students who are the first in their families to go to college, under-represented minority students, or students who might not otherwise be able to afford a trip to campus. Hear more about what these programs entail, how to apply, and how colleges are adapting these programs as a result of COVID-19.

This free, virtual event is recommended for all students entering grades 9-12, and is open to counselors, as well.

The program kicks off with an opening panel discussion, followed by a fair-style event where attendees can register to visit rooms featuring several Coalition for College member schools.
