Welcome back to Money Monday! Stuck in the house? Make sure you fill out your FAFSA! We are hoping to award returning students during the month of April. Have you checked out your missing documents on your My Financial Aid portal? Take advantage of this time, and get your financial aid information all together now! Remember, you must file your FAFSA yearly. If you need to get a hold of the Financial Aid Office, we are still open and working remotely! You might not be able to pop in, but we have counselors available to take your phone call or email during normal business hours!

If you're looking to stay informed about the state of Financial Aid during the COVID-19 Crisis, we have the following resources that have emerged in the following days:

• The U.S. Department of Education has also put out some helpful information on Financial Aid for Students, Parents, and Borrowers. Please visit their page here to learn more about forebearance, interest accrual, and other implications of federal student aid.
• The National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators has noted that there is a rise of consumer protection complaints and scams related to debt relief and COVID-19. Please be wary of any communication regarding debt relief, and please review any information regarding loans or student debt relief at official sources. You can view their news release here.

We are now determining awards for the Alpha Wetenkamp, Daniel J. Moceri, and Northwestern Mutual Scholarships. We'll notify the winners when we make a determination--please give us a few weeks.
