🎓📣 October is College Awareness Month, and we’re asking Philly students: WHAT’S YOUR PLAN?!

We pulled up to the School District of Philadelphia’s ( School District Philadelphia )11th Annual FAFSA Kick-Off to connect with students and families, celebrate the next chapter, and highlight the resources available to help make those future goals a reality.

Whether it’s college, trade school, a career, or a path you’re still figuring out, your future is worth planning for. FAFSA is one step toward making it happen! 💪🏾

The message is simple: you don’t have to have it all figured out, but you do need to start somewhere.

So Philly, what’s your plan after high school?
