(Indianapolis, IN) - Financial aid professionals from across Indiana will be at 34 sites helping college bound students and their families with the most important form for financial aid during College Goal Sunday.

 

The event is set for 2:00 PM on February 22.  The free program assists Indiana students with filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is required for students to be considered for federal and state grants, many scholarships, and even federal student loans at most colleges, universities, and vocational/technical schools nationwide.

 

Filing must occur by the State of Indiana priority deadline of April 15th to guarantee state aid for those who qualify.

 

Many families perceive the form to be too complicated and time consuming to complete and often leads to students missing out on financial aid they would receive.  In less than one afternoon during the event, though, students and their families get free help from the expert volunteers and file the form.

 

Now in its 37th year, College Goal Sunday has helped more than 98,000 Indiana students and families complete the FAFSA properly and on time. College Goal Sunday is a charitable program of the Indiana Student Financial Aid Association (ISFAA).
