If you are graduating this year, and going on to college, you need to fill out the financial aid application. You may remember when we went over the FAFSA earlier this year and I mentioned that the first "F" in FAFSA stands for FREE. I also told you that you should never pay to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Well now I am telling you that if you need help filling out this application, then College Goal Sunday is for you.
College Goal Sunday is an opportunity for students and families to receive FREE assistance in completing the FAFSA. The FAFSA is a required form to apply for all federal aid programs, many state programs and even institutional aid programs which can help pay for your college.
College Goal Sunday is your chance to complete the FAFSA with experts on-hand and get answers to the financial aid questions you may have. It doesn't matter what college you attend or are planning to attend - you are welcome at any site location. Some of the sites that are near most of us are:1) Lima Senior High School
2) Northwest State Community College in Archbold
3) Columbus Grove High School
An article found on hometownstations.com talking about College Goal Sunday at Columbus Grove stated that they will start at 1:00 pm on Sunday so they can give a presentation to inform everyone of financial aid options, followed by financial aid completion and assistance on computers from 2:00 - 4:00 pm. The colleges that will be in attendance at Columbus Grove will be Ohio State University, Owens Community College, University of Northwestern College and the University of Findlay. It also stated that more than 100 people have registered for the event but walk-ins are welcome.
REMEMBER: Please bring your tax returns / W2 forms, Social Security Cards and Drivers License.
I hope that you will take advantage of this great opportunity and travel to one of these sites on Sunday to complete your FAFSA.
