Chatbot helping first-gen students navigate financial aid bureaucracy. A conversational assistant that walks first-generation college students through FAFSA, loan options, grant eligibility, and financial aid appeals in plain language—no jargon, no runaway to a FAQ. Students text questions like "what counts as income?" or "can I appeal my EFC?" and get instant, accurate answers tailored to their state and school. The bot stores conversation history so students can pick up where they left off, and flags when they should talk to their school's financial aid office directly. Built on top of scraped financial aid documents and state-specific rules, with a simple web interface for counselors to verify answers.
