Students to get free help in filing for financial aid
Any student planning to attend college must submit a Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to be eligible for federal and state
aid including grants, work study, and loans as well as some scholarships,
inlcuding the Twenty-first Century Scholars Award.
Financial aid professionals will be volunteering at Ivy Tech Community
College in Evansville, located at 3501 N. First Ave., and 39 other Indiana
sites to help college-bound students and their families open the door to
financial aid during College Goal Sunday, set for 2 p.m. (local time),
February 12, 2012.
The free program is designed to assist Indiana students seeking
undergraduate admission to a college or technical school in 2012 in filing
the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is required
for students to be considered for federal and state grants, loans and
scholarships at most colleges, universities and vocational/technical schools
nationwide and must be filed by March 10 to be eligible for state aid.
Completing this required form correctly and by the deadline is sometimes
perceived to be complicated and time consuming. In one afternoon at College
Goal Sunday, students and their families can get free help and file the form
online.
Students should attend College Goal Sunday with their parent(s) or
guardian(s) and bring their parents’ completed 2011 IRS 1040 tax returns,
W-2 Forms and other 2011 income and benefits information. Students who
worked last year, should bring their income information. Students 24 years
of age or older may attend alone and bring their own completed 2011 IRS 1040
tax return, W-2 Form or other 2011 income and benefits information. Students
and parents may apply for their U.S. Department of Education Personal
Identification Numbers (PINs) at www.pin.ed.gov before coming to the event.
