MAFAA Early Awareness

The Minnesota Association of Financial Aid Administrators Early Awareness programs encourage young people to graduate from high school and continue on to higher education. Our message is that college IS possible and career goals CAN be achieved no matter what your background, financial situation or personal challenges.

We want to reach students at a point early enough in their education to make a difference. Our Focus on the Future and Kids, Colleges & Careers programs assist elementary and middle school students to build self-esteem, set goals, and explore careers. These programs strive to educate students about the benefits of advanced education, the college admission process and the availability of student financial aid.
