The Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS)
College Assistance Program (CAP) is offering virtual college fairs and college preparation
workshops for parents and students. These new planning tools were created to
assist families with college planning, applying for financial aid or
scholarships, registering for college fairs, and are designed to equip them
with information needed to make the right choice about college.
This month, several states are participating
in free College Application Month events where students and families can get
help with the application process. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) is now available and many states are holding free financial aid
workshops.
M-DCPS’ virtual resources increase
accessibility and equity for all students, and the webinars help students and
parents who may not have face-to-face access with their school’s CAP advisor. These
workshops are a beneficial resource in addition to the annual National College
Fair held in February for all students.
