The Virginia College Affordability Network (VCAN) and the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) have introduced a free chatbot to support students and families in completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
“Cardi” (whose name is a play on the name of Virginia’s state bird, the cardinal) is available 24/7 to offer quick and accurate responses to FAFSA-related inquiries. User-friendly and easy to understand, the chatbot also provides both FAFSA and Virginia-specific financial aid information.
Visit Hey Cardi to sign up for help with FAFSA and financial aid questions, and to receive tips and reminders for the new FAFSA.
