Resources
The office of Federal Student Aid offers a variety of resources, in English and Spanish, to help you share the "My Story" messages. With these materials in hand, you can help students hear from other students just like them that financial barriers do not need to prevent them from pursuing an education after high school.
Use the "My Story" PSAs and informational material at financial aid or community outreach events and presentations where there are interested students and parents or their caregivers.
Download Instructions: To download the PSAs, right click on the file format for the file you want, select Save, navigate to your desktop or the folder where you want to save the file, and then save that file. Do not open the file until you have saved it to your selected folder.
