Events

Oakland University’s Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships offers a variety of financial aid events available to students and their families who wish to learn more about paying for college, get help completing the FAFSA, or better understand financial aid offers. Students are encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible, beginning in the senior year of high school and continuing throughout their undergraduate college career, even into graduate education.

Virtual FAFSA workshops are available to allow multiple students and their parents (when applicable) to get help completing the FAFSA. A brief introduction and workshop overview are provided at the start of the workshop, then participants are able to work at their own pace to complete their application. For the duration of the workshop, a financial aid professional facilitating the event is available to answer questions in the chat and private breakout rooms are utilized if you need to discuss a personal question or need to share your screen privately.
