The U.S. Department of Education recently released new guidance on financial aid (FAFSA) determinations for unaccompanied youth experiencing homelessness, and unaccompanied youth who are self-supporting and at risk of homelessness. In this webinar, presenters from the U.S. Department of Education present an overview of the new guidance and respond to questions. Participants also hear from a financial aid administrator who shares strategies for implementing the law and guidance. We also share resources and tools for educators and providers (linked below). This webinar was presented in partnership with John Burton Advocates for Youth and Youth Law Center.
