@TexasOnCourse A/8 - There is a great TXOC chart that answers that question in the TASFA module! I-551, I-551-C and I-94 are FAFSA eligible. Never assume the answer is no! #TASFAchat

A4/ At times these students can be hesitant to complete an application because they fear it will generate a red flag against their status. Reassuring students that Texas has provided a way for them to continue their studies is a relief to many #TASFAchat

@TexasOnCourse A/3 Engaging families starts with building a relationship of trust. That happens long before the senior year. When families know you are there to help, they will take the risk to share! #TXOCask, #TASFAchat

A3/ We host financial aid drives in the evening and solicit the help of financial aid experts from area colleges. They bring in the reps from TRIO programs too. Together, we offer a lot of expertise to facilitate the process #TASFAchat

A /2 One way to identify students who are TASFA candidate is to check those who have state assigned ID numbers. That information provides an initial contact list. I share about TASFA & FAFSA in presentations as well. #TXOCask, #TASFAchat

A 1/ For veteran or new counselors, TXOC is the go-to place to help students with TASFA. The video that, literally, walks through the application helps students see that they can do this. ! #TXOCask, #TASFAchat
