The visits are designed to help prospective college students and their families complete financial aid forms and encourage them to sign up for an early college orientation.

“In an effort to provide more services to rural districts, we look forward to partnering with Brackett ISD this year to provide college access information. For the third year, we will return to Eagle Pass and Laredo United ISDs, where members representing the STEM Articulation Program at Laredo Community College will partner with us to assist Laredo students,” said Belinda Harmon , director of community outreach in the Office of P-20 Initiatives.

Scheduled high school visits include:

“The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) application can be daunting, and it is especially important for first-generation college students to have assistance completing the form.
