MPS CACC

@ACT all testing locations have been full for those students needing to test on July 18 (even alternate locations - the one available site being a town 1.5 hours outside of Milwaukee). What solution will be made available for students, and what should we suggest they do?

That $6,000 we mentioned earlier? That's the #PellGrant. It's the largest federal grant program available to undergraduate students.There are also grants from state and local governments, institutions, and private sources. #fafsafridays nerdwallet.com/blog/loans/stu…

You might be able to get around $6,000 GIVEN to you to attend college. Nope, not a joke. The "catch?" You have to complete the #FAFSA! #fafsafridays studentaid.gov/understand-aid…

Between 1991 & 2016, "blacks and Latinos with a bachelor’s degree increased their likelihood of getting and keeping a good-paying job..." #FAFSA completion increases the likelihood of college enrollment; we need to keep up the fight! #fafsafridays voanews.com/student-union/…

Among full-time, full-year undergrads, 88% of Black students, 87% of American Indian/Alaska Native students, & 82% of Hispanic students received grants in 2015–16. These percentages were higher than those for White (74%) & Asian (66%) students.-Natl Ctr for Ed Stats #fafsafridays

We're committed to closing the "degree divide" & equipping BIPOC students to pursue college in the face of barriers related to race. #FAFSA completion is key! So, we're highlighting the connection between social justice, financial aid, and earning a degree. #fafsafridays #BLM
