Become Certified in Financial Aid!
01/08/2025
This is a reminder to join us for our Financial Aid Certification (FAC) series to support students through the financial aid process! The series includes a detailed breakdown of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®), the information required to complete the FAFSA or Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid, and tips for students to better understand financial aid offers. Upon completion of the training, participants will be equipped to assist students and families in the financial aid process from beginning to end.
This virtual series will consist of 5 sessions taking place from Monday, January 27 through Friday, January 31, 2025. Participants who attend all five sessions will receive a link to the post-series assessment for the opportunity to receive a financial aid certificate from ISAC. Participants who score at least an 80% or higher on the assessment, will receive an ISAC-issued certificate within 2-3 weeks after the training.
