Supporting Postsecondary Transitions During COVID-19

Thursday, May 14, 2020
3:00–4:00 p.m. EDT

School closures due to the COVID-19 crisis present a hurdle for students who are preparing to transition from high school to postsecondary education and training. In this virtual chat, REL Appalachia and our partners discussed logistical and nonacademic supports for keeping students on the path to postsecondary, such as supporting families in completing and making updates to FAFSA applications and understanding financial award letters and comparing costs, as well as addressing summer melt and providing students with social-emotional supports. Following a brief presentation, a panel answered questions from participants and discussed resources to address current concerns.
