This annual program administered by FAME offers assistance to Maine students and their families who are in the process of applying for financial aid for higher education. College financial aid officers and other qualified professionals volunteer their time to help college-bound students complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is the required federal financial aid form.
These workshops are designed to prepare high school students and their families for the college financial aid process. Generally offered during the late fall, the workshop tends to be 60 to 90 minutes in length. You can also view our presentation in PDF format.
