Milwaukee leaders are begging local high school seniors to fill out their paperwork to receive financial aid for college this fall, saying far fewer students have done so during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The FAFSA, which stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is key to college-going students ability to get federal grants and loans to pay for college. It also helps students get scholarships and other financial aid from the state and the colleges they want to attend.
On Wednesday, Milwaukee Public Schools Superintendent Keith Posley, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Chancellor Mark Mone, Milwaukee Area Technical College President Vicki Martin and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett met virtually with community organizations to call on anyone who knows a high school senior to make sure they filled out the form.
Cooking and confidence are intertwined for Malina Schweinert. As a family and consumer science teacher at Nathan Hale High School in West Allis, she’s seen how basic kitchen skills can help kids blossom.
It’s what helped her find her own path, too. She grew up in the kitchen, learning from her grandmother. When she dropped out of high school, she found jobs in the food industry. Eventually, that led her to Milwaukee Area Technical College and a degree in culinary management. Now she’s putting those lessons to work as a personal chef, catering and teaching. Schweinert is offering online cooking classes teaching some of her favorite recipes and skills. Currently free, classes are held at 5 p.m. Saturdays live on Facebook.
