Set of Screencasts: Free Application for Federal Student Aid Tutorial
Scholarship websites and how to apply
FAQ on Financial Aid
Audience: Seniors and their Parents/Guardians
Screencast: Free Application for Federal Student Aid Tutorial
Description: This would first talk about exactly what the FAFSA is. It would then take you out to the website fafsa.ed.gov and it would do the following:
- Walk the student through the process of applying for a PIN for both the student and the parent.
- It would tell them what information is needed to fill out the FAFSA.
- Demonstrate an example of filling out a FAFSA
Screencast: Scholarship website
Description: This would talk about the best ways to search for scholarships and show the most popular websites for finding scholarship. It would then also discuss the terms used when talking about scholarships and answer FAQs
Screencast: FAQ on Financial Aid
Description: This would answer various FAQs on Financial Aid. There are so many questions related to FA that I think this would be both beneficial to the parents and the students. It would also go into what to expect with FA and when the best time to apply is.
I think these screen casts will prepare high school students and their parents when it comes to Financial Aid. So, many students and parents come to our office with a bunch of questions and concerns and I feel screencasts like this would not only help them prepare but also help them feel more comfortable about going to college and how they are going to pay for it.

great idea, I hate the using the federal student aid website.
Wow, what a great idea. I can't wait to tell my wife (also a teacher) about it it. We are going to do some Blackboard training next week and I'll be incorporating your idea. For some reason I've always been stuck thinking along the lines of teaching curriculum. Thanks
