A New Committee
Submitted by:  Aristea Williams and Melissa Gregory, Early Awareness Co-Chairs

This year, Tri-State introduces a new committee. The Early Awareness Committee was formed as an extension of the NASFAA Early Awareness Initiatives. Our purpose is to make the financial aid community aware of the current Early Awareness initiatives by our member institutions and come up with other ways to make students and parents aware that college is reachable and of the financial aid possibilities available to them. We are targeting middle and early high school students. Currently we are planning a college tour for students from a D.C. charter school and we are designing a training guide for financial aid administrators to take to schools and do an Early Awareness presentation. We are also contacting local groups and organizations such as the TRIO programs to speak to their students about Early Awareness. We are always looking for volunteers and welcome your expertise.
