Do you still need help to complete your FAFSA?
Do you still need help to complete your FAFSA?
Message from COLLEGE ACCESS FAIRFAX:
Even though FCPS has closed all of its schools, we are here to try and help you complete the FAFSA or help with questions on verification or error messages. However, we will not be able to meet with you in person. On this web site, you will find many helpful articles and links.
In addition, our Champions page has a listing for the contact information for our financial aid champions. You may email them with questions or if you need help. They are also available to call you back and try to help you via the phone. In some cases, we can try to use Zoom technology to allow you to share your screen with the Champion.
While we know that this is not ideal, we will continue to try and provide help. At this time, we are uncertain if there will be any accommodations at either the federal, state or college level. We will continue to post any information on our web site as it becomes available.
You can also email us at info@collegeaccessfairfax.org with any additional concerns or questions.
To all, please stay safe and healthy.
