Filing for financial aid while incarcerated can be a formidable challenge.

This toolkit from the Vera Institute of Justice, drafted in collaboration with Chemeketa Community College, draws on the experiences of the first group of Second Chance Pell colleges.

The toolkit is designed to aid new and existing participants as they guide students through the complexities of filing for federal financial aid in prison, including completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, known as the FAFSA.
