Webinar Overview: OLC is partnering with the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) for a free webinar to discuss and explore opportunities on how libraries can help with Ohio’s efforts to increase completion rates of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

FAFSA allows students to qualify for federal Pell grants, state grants, and most scholarships. According to ODHE, completion of the FAFSA is one of the best predictors of enrollment in colleges, universities, and training centers. High school seniors who complete the FAFSA are 84% more likely to enroll in post-secondary education.

More information on Ohio’s FAFSA initiative can be found at https://www.itsforyou.org/.

If you are unable to participate in the live presentation, the webinar will be recorded and posted on the OLC website.
