Financial Aid / Scholarships

Virtual 2021-2022 FAFSA Completion Workshop

 

ETSU would like to cordially invite seniors and parents to their Virtual FAFSA Completion Workshop that runs from Oct. 5 through Oct. 9.

 

ETSU will have staff available to virtually assist students and their families in completing the 2021-22 FAFSA. We ask that students who plan to participate register here by September 30. Students and their families may select a meeting time that is most convenient for them.

 

As you know, the FAFSA is a student’s gateway for all federal financial aid, as well as the starting point for many state and school funding programs. There are many funding opportunities – including the Pell Grant and HOPE (Lottery) Scholarship – that will not otherwise be available without a completed FAFSA.
