SUMMARY: This weekend at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, an event aimed at assisting students with FAFSA completion is being held. Dean of Student Services Michelle Seol and Kimberly Trosclair from Get2College emphasize the importance of financial aid access for all students. Recognizing that many students struggle with the FAFSA process, they are offering after-hours assistance to help families navigate the application. Upcoming workshops on July 27 and August 6 will provide guidance on various financial aid opportunities, including state aid and scholarships. This initiative aims to remove barriers and ensure all students can access needed support for higher education.
