WCPSS Financial Aid Advisor Program
The Financial Aid Advisor Program (FAAP), sponsored by the Wake County Public School System (WCPSS), is designed to help high school students and their parents locate financial aid for post-secondary education. All WCPSS high schools have a Financial Aid Advisor who works one day a week in the school student services centers with students and their families looking for funds to meet the costs of higher education. FAAP has been very successful in guiding students and their families through the financial aid process, serving more than 9,000 students each year.
FAAP provides:
Individual Assistance - Senior students can receive help on finding, applying for and obtaining financial aid from federal and state sources as well as individual institutions.
Financial Aid Workshops - Advisors participate in workshops for students and families in conjunction with high school counselors and Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) or Parent Teacher Student Associations (PTSAs).
Financial Aid Resources - Advisors have print materials and online resources that can help with the financial aid process.
