Hey class of 2023! Graduation is right around the corner, and if you haven't completed the FAFSA yet, time is running out! Delta is holding several Financial Aid workshops over the next couple of months. They have some dates coming up where you can get the help you need, including a virtual session you could attend from the comfort of your home.
Don't forget that the FAFSA is a required element in your Senior Project. If you need a hand, check out the sessions on March 27th or the Virtual one on March 30th. It might be the easiest way to move this to the "done" list.
