GRASP (Great Aspirations Scholarship Program, Inc.) is partnering with Capital One and the National College Attainment Network to host the workshops at two Capital One Cafe locations in Richmond on July 20 and Aug. 31.

The workshops will assist students in filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form, which is used to determine eligibility for grants, work-study funds and loans.

Sessions will be held at the Short Pump Capital One Cafe from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and at the Carytown Capital One Cafe from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on both dates.

GRASP, a Richmond-based non-profit organization, focuses on college and career access.

By offering these workshops, GRASP aims to provide students with the necessary support to navigate the often complex process of applying for financial aid.
