The primary goal of ISAC's outreach efforts is to help families navigate the steps of the college admission and financial aid processes. We offer or participate in a number of college fairs, financial aid nights, financial literacy events and FAFSA completion workshops. Check out the list of outreach events in Illinois for the one nearest you. All events listed are open to the public.
