THANK YOU! Your participation in the 2016-2017 FAFSA Day Event at SITE LOCATION was a key to making this event a great success. More than XX students and families were served in completing the FAFSA. This is an increase from last year!

We appreciate the time you took out of your busy professional life to offer assistance and advice to student and families on a weekend. An event such as this could not happen without individual and group efforts.

It was encouraging and motivating to see education professionals, financial aid professionals, community and college partners, families, and students come together for a common purpose on a wintry Sunday. It would have been easy for those who registered to change their minds about attending but the value of the event, and its importance to students and families, can be seen in that we had XXmore attendees than the number who pre-registered.

Overall families rated the event very highly and worthwhile.

Your efforts and contribution made a real difference! Again, we extend our sincerest thanks on behalf of the FAFSA Day Committee,SITE LOCATION, and all the students and families who attended.

To be sent to Attendees

It was great to have the opportunity to work with you on Sunday. You are to be complimented for showing the initiative to attend FAFSA Day, when you could have been doing many other things you might have enjoyed more. You realized, however, the importance of getting the Free Application for Federal Study Aid (FAFSA) completed on time. Nice work!

Please contact ith any follow-up questions, and now that you’ve started and/or submitted the FAFSA, stay tuned for additional tips and next-step advice which will be posted on the website, Thank you for your attendance.
