We will have a night here at USD 235 on January 15th to help any seniors complete the form. However, Mistie Knox from the Kansas Board of Regents recently shared this email in case you are wanting a virtual option from a professional! :) Exciting Announcement --- KASFAA is offering three virtual FAFSA assistance sessions, which provide families with the chance to meet one-on-one with a financial aid professional for assistance completing the FAFSA.
