DESCRIPTION: In this Newsletter:FAFSA Workshop Assistance AvailablePaCE Curriculum TrainingIllinois Work-Based Learning 101Essential Skills and Career Exploration: Empowering K-12 Students for the FutureFAFSA Workshop Assistance AvailableThe Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) has an urgent request for information. ISAC is currently offering funding to compensate school counselors or other school staff to work with ISAC to host outreach and completion efforts during the summer to continue to assist students. Over 16,000 fewer graduating high school seniors completed a FAFSA in 2024 than in 2023.  Research shows that students who leave high school disconnected from postsecondary education are far less likely to ever get connected to and complete any form of postsecondary education.>> Interested in participating?
