This form must be completed before a student can receive any federal or state (Texas) financial aid for school. During the broadcast, TG representatives will guide viewers through the FAFSA step-by-step. TG also produces the show in Spanish, Como Solicitar Ayuda Economica: Tramite de la FAFSA, which will be distributed to coincide with the broadcast of the English program. Participation is easy and FREE. To broadcast the program, it would be helpful if you have a room with a monitor or television with satellite downlink capability. ***If satellite downlink technology is not currently available, videotapes of the program can be provided upon request and should be shown during the regularly scheduled broadcast time of 7:00 p.m. on February 5, 2004.*** (Public and school libraries participating in TG's library outreach program, Know Before You Go, will automatically receive videotapes following the broadcast to add to their collections.) TG will provide all promotional materials to assist in advertising the event. To register as a host site, please complete the online registration form available at http://www.adventuresineducation.org/Events/Teleconference2004/. If you do not have satellite downlink equipment but would like to host the program by showing a videotape during the live program time, please check the box on the registration form which reads "Host a site - no satellite reception (contact me about options)."
