Helping students understand Pell Grant eligibility, award offers, deadlines, and renewal requirements.
Monitoring student progress and providing early intervention to students at risk of losing financial aid eligibility.
Serving as a key member of the college’s student success and early alert initiatives.
Teaching financial literacy topics including budgeting, responsible borrowing, debt management, and financial wellness.
Connecting students with campus and community resources that address financial, academic, personal, and basic needs challenges.
Collaborating with faculty, advisors, admissions, registrar, business office, and student support services to create a seamless student experience.
Building relationships with local schools and community organizations to increase awareness of financial aid opportunities.
Planning and participating in orientations, financial aid events, recruitment activities, workshops, open houses, and community outreach events.
Maintaining accurate records, tracking program outcomes, preparing reports, and supporting the College’s Pell Boost initiatives.
Ensuring compliance with all federal, state, institutional, and grant requirements.
