There is a ton of information out there about applying for financial support in the age of COVID. Unfortunately, there’s too much information and it can be really overwhelming. That’s why Shalaco decided to make the video below. As he told me in an email:

The video is broken down into the following themes:

Setting Your Goals
Where to Find Financial Assistance
Prioritizing Applications
Organizing and Streamlining
