Detroit Regional Chamber, Detroit Promise, and Detroit Reconnect will be hosting events across Southeast Michigan to help college students complete their FAFSA application and submitting a Michigan Reconnect scholarship application from FAFSA specialists, Reconnect Navigators, and local colleges.
FAFSA completion is significantly down in Michigan, and is a leading indicator of college enrollment. The State of Michigan provided funds to encourage local events for FAFSA completion and to raise awareness for Michigan Reconnect for adults ages 21-24, a program inspired by the Chamber’s Detroit Reconnect.
This service is available for future and current college students, both traditional and non-traditional. Laptops will be provided, and colleges will be on-site to answer questions.
