Jackson, Mich. (WKHM) — The Jackson College and Career Access Center will be hosting their Fun Fall FAFSA and College Application Event on October 4 at their location in the Jackson Crossing Mall with extended hours from 11:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.

Brian Green, the center’s Community Initiatives and Advising Director, says the timing of this event is anything but accidental.

Brian told WKHM that filling out the FAFSA can be a frustrating process without guidance, making their assistance crucial for students seeking funds for future education.

Resources for high schoolers looking to do something besides college after graduation can also be found.

The event will feature free BBQ pulled pork, prize giveaways, and free assistance with the FAFSA and college applications
