<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">CSF is putting a big focus this summer on driving FAFSA completion through our “It’s Not Too Late” Campaign.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"> </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">We are especially interested in reaching students from the Class of 2024 in our mission population, who graduated from high school, intended to go to college, but have not completed
the FAFSA. As we know, this year’S FAFSA was extraordinarily challenging and more students were stymied than ever before.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"> </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Therefore, we are hosting free, virtual one-on-one sessions through September where students can meet with our CSF financial aid experts to complete their FAFSA/WASFA; review their
financial aid award letter or create an FSA ID. Sessions are available in English or Spanish.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">To reach our target audience, we have developed a targeted, strategic campaign plan to engage students directly and through trusted resources and networks. As valued partners,
I am turning to you to ask your support in getting the word out through the College Promise Coalition so that we can reach more of the students who need and want this financial aid assistance.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
