Get2College counselors and college representatives will provide students and their parents with free one-on-one assistance submitting the FAFSA and the grant application for funds from the state of Mississippi. In order to participate in the event, students must sign up for a 30-minute appointment by contacting Tracy Bender in the North Mississippi Get2College Center at (662) 349-2789.
