What is the Crosby Scholars Finish the FAFSA Agreement?

Parents, if you have logged into your Crosby Scholars Student Portal recently, you may have noticed a new pop-up box asking you to provide your consent for the Crosby Scholars Finish the FAFSA Agreement.

What is Crosby Scholars Finish the FAFSA Agreement and why is it important?

Crosby Scholars Finish the FAFSA Agreement allows Crosby Scholars Financial Aid Coordinator to provide support to students and families who need help submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, during their senior year in high school. The Finish the FAFSA Agreement DOES NOT disclose any personal financial information. The Finish the FAFSA Agreement does not disclose any information on family or student income, citizenship information, social security numbers or any other personally identifiable information. The Finish the FAFSA Agreement data is not used for any purpose other than to offer students assistance with FAFSA completion. The Finish the FAFSA data will not be used to identify your student in any way.

Crosby Scholars Financial Aid Coordinator will only be able to confirm if your student has submitted and signed their FAFSA form, or if they have been selected for an additional FAFSA screening process called Verification. Crosby Scholars Financial Aid Coordinator will then contact your or your student to offer assistance with completion.

Submitting a FAFSA is a critical step toward creating a financial plan for college. The Finish the FAFSA Agreement allows Crosby Scholars Financial Aid Coordinator to provide one-on-one professional Financial Aid support to your family. Let us help you create your plan to pay for college by answering 'Yes' to the Finish the FAFSA Agreement inside your Crosby Scholars Parent Portal today.

Please contact Ashly Wilson at 336-725-5371 or awilson@crosbyscholars.org with any questions.
