Bridging the Affordability Gap Resources Support Financial Aid Advising

October 24, 2026 by Laura Winter

An email header example reminding students that college submission deadlines are approaching from MOCAN's Bridging the Affordability Gap toolkit.

Talking with students and parents about financial aid and paying for college is one of the most important – and most challenging – things college and career advisors do.

MOCAN and rootEd Missouri have partnered on a new toolkit to make it easier!

The Bridging the Affordability Gap toolkit includes easy-to-use tools you can use in your advising sessions with students and parents.

The toolkit includes resources you can use as is – or customize for your needs:

  • Presentation deck for parent and student events
  • Planning & Paying for College guide for students and parents
  • Communications toolkit – social media posts and e-newsletter content you can cut-and-paste, along with a content calendar for timely reminders

To access the Bridging the Affordability Gap resources, click here.

The resources are password protected so we can make sure you’re downloading the most up-to-date versions of tools. If you need the password, please contact Kaitlyn Venta.
