Become a FAFSA completion expert and get $2,000 for your TRIO program! COE would like to help your TRIO program increase FAFSA completion rates. Removing barriers to enrolling in college is a priority for college access and success programs, and COE would like to help the TRIO community demystify the process. Thanks to generous support from the ECMC Group, COE is providing 100 TRIO programs with $2,000 grants to assist with FAFSA completion events for TRIO participants.

To qualify for the $2000 grant award, at least one member of your TRIO program staff must participate in COE's Train the FAFSA Experts webinar on Tuesday, July 23, from 2:00–4:00 p.m. ET. Additionally, the program must commit to hosting FAFSA completion events throughout the end of July and August (serving no fewer than 120 participants) and provide COE with event details. COE will award grants to those who attend the entire webinar and complete the registration form provided after the event on a first-come, first-served basis. Award recipients can use the $2000 grant to assist your program in getting families in the door (i.e. food, small gift cards; a $25-per-person limit applies).

The first step is to join us on Tuesday, July 23!  Register now.
