FAFSA Deadline May 1st

The time has come to complete the 2015-2016 FAFSA! The FAFSA is the application required to determine your eligibility for access to financial aid during your time at Augsburg, and must be renewed every year.

May 1st is the deadline to apply for financial aid at Augsburg. All Day College students must submit their application by this date or risk losing some of the aid that may be available to you.

Don't forget to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool when completing your FAFSA this year. This function pre-populates your tax information into the application, which reduces your chances of being selected for verification later on. The IRS Data Retrieval Tool is available for use on the FAFSA 2-3 weeks after electronically filing your taxes, and 6-8 weeks after filing paper taxes.

Questions? Stop by the Enrollment Center and speak with any of our Student Financial Services Counselors or call us at 612-330-1046.

Cuban Popular Educator/UN Consultant Visit

The Center for Global Education and Experience at Augsburg College (CGEE) is pleased to announce an upcoming international visitor to our Minneapolis campus, Carmen Nora Hernandez Chavez from the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Center (MLKC) in Havana, Cuba. CGEE partners extensively with the MLKC on study abroad programs in Cuba, so we are excited to host Mrs. Hernandez Chavez on this stop of her U.S. speaking tour.

Speaker Bio: Carmen Nora Hernandez Chavez is a popular educator, an expert on gender issues, and one of the founding members of the MLKC. She coordinates training workshops for people involved in community projects throughout Cuba. Mrs. Hernandez Chavez has also worked as a consultant, researcher, and advisor on gender issues for the United Nations Development Program.

Event Details: Join CGEE and Mrs. Hernandez Chavez on March 31 from 12-1pm in the Augsburg Room of the Christensen Center. This is a casual event, so please feel free to bring a lunch. Mrs. Hernandez Chavez will spend 20-30 minutes discussing the basics of popular education and offer several Cuban examples; the remainder of the time will be an open discussion with plenty of time for questions and answers on various Cuba-related topics. If you plan to attend, consider letting us know by emailing Lucy Hardaker at hardaker@augsburg.edu, but RSVP is NOT required.
