First Student Athlete in Family
This is our first time having a student athlete in our family, so the info provided was good. Learning the basic differences between different divisions in NCAA and the restrictions on coaches was interesting. The info on how to contact schools and registering with NCAA was great, too.

A lot of helpful tips about the benefits and the and the disadvantages in the changes to the FAFSA. I was hoping that they would provide a sneak peak of the new fafsa application so that administrators and other fafsa college representatives would be better prepared for the upcoming opening.

MEFA helps with FAFSA changes
MEFA's resources on FAFSA simplification have been very well done. They have made it easier to understand than other organizations in the financial aid world. I appreciate that they want to help students and families understand the changes to FAFSA, and am glad MEFA can present the complex information in an easier to understand format.

Webinar
There are usually lots of questions in the Q&A field that are helpful and relevant. It's really hard to keep up with reading those questions and answers while at the same time paying attention to the webinar. But, I don't think the transcript of the Q&A is provided when the video of the webinar is sent. It would be helpful to have that too.

MEFA is always providing very timely and useful information for students, parents and teachers. The availability of recorded sessions is particularly helpful for those who cannot attend live sessions due to other commitments. My only wish is that on-demand items had dates of when presented to allow for finding most up to date materials.
