Welcome FAU Training Institute Class of 2012

NCTC is proud to announce and congratulate the inaugural class of the Financial Aid U Training Institute! Eight programs from across the country will be admitted to the next iteration of the Financial Aid U program.

Programs were chosen based on their commitment to adding or building their current asset building services to assist aspiring first-generation and low-income students in financing their college education.

The inaugural class includes:

• Cambridge Economic Opportunity Committee, Inc. (Cambridge, MA)
• Co-opportunity, Inc. (Hartford, CT)
• Delaware Alliance for Community Advancement (Wilmington, DE)
• Franciscan Community Development Center of Fairview (Fairview, NJ)
• Kentucky Domestic Violence Association (Frankfort, KY)
• Rural Dynamics Inc. (Great Falls, MT)
• United Way of Fairfield County (Lancaster, OH)
• United Way of Passaic County (Paterson, NJ)

All programs will be convening in Chicago, IL for a two-day intensive workshop on building and growing their FAFSA preparation services. The workshop will will give participants in-depth information about creating and expanding their FAU programs, including staff and funding development, the ins and outs of the FAFSA form itself and incorporating follow-up services after a student has filed their FAFSA.
