Capital One launches workshops to help students complete federal aid applications
CHICAGO (CBS) -- A workshop to help college students and their families complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid was set to be held Saturday.
This comes as a revamped application was launched in December – but those who have tried to use it have encountered online pages not working, unexpected shutdowns, and even cases where students were unable to complete the form.
Now, a monthly workshop will be hosted at the Capital One Chicago Hyde Park Café to help students through the process.
The workshops will be held the fourth Saturday of each month - starting this Saturday, Jan. 27, and continuing through March – in partnership with the National College Attainment Network.
Volunteers can provide laptops as needed and light refreshments, and the café offers free wi-fi.
The workshops will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays, Jan. 27, Feb. 24, and March 23.
The Capital One Chicago Hyde Park Café is located at 1465 E. 53rd St.
