The FAFSA Completion Project!

Studies have shown that accessing financial aid can be a huge obstacle to attending college. In responce, the College PlanningCenter of Rhode Island hosts FAFSA Completion Nights throughout Rhode Island to help families complete their financialaid paperwork.

The objective is to provide more time for students and families - especially those who are first generation of their families to go to college - to realize that higher education is achievable and affordable.
