College-bound students and their families may want to circle February 26th on the calendar. WNIN’s John Gibson explains:
Financial aid professionals from across Indiana will volunteer at Ivy Tech in Evansville and 36 other sites for College Goal Sunday.
The event offers free assistance in filing for financial aid.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid – or FAFSA -- form is required for students to be considered for federal and state grants, scholarships, and federal student loans at most colleges, universities, and vocational/technical schools.
The FAFSA must be filed by the State of Indiana by April 15th to guarantee state aid for those that qualify.
College Goal Sunday is set for Sunday, Feb. 26th at 2 p.m.
