2/22/2015 College Goal Sunday Event This Weekend
Published: February 17, 2015
By: Anita Goodan, WKVI
Those needing assistance filling out the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, form can get assistance in this weekend’s
College Goal Sunday event.
The form is due March 10 to be eligible for federal student
aid. The FAFSA form is required for students to be considered for federal and
state grants, scholarships and student loans at most post-secondary schools.
The FAFSA form can be perceived as time-consuming, but students can get the
FAFSA form filed online during Sunday’s event.
College Goal Sunday has helped more than 90,000 Indiana
students and families complete the FAFSA properly and on time. According to the
Indiana Commission for Higher Education’s Division of Student Financial Aid,
more single parents have filed for financial aid proving that the program is
reaching high-risk students and families.
Students should attend College Goal Sunday with their
parents and bring with them 2014 IRS 1040 tax returns, W-2 Forms and other 2014
income and benefits information. Students who held a job should also bring in
that information. Apply for the U.S. Department of Education PIN number at
www.pin.ed.gov before coming to the event.
A $1,000 scholarship will be given to 16 students nationwide
just for attending College Goal Sunday. The scholarship will be sent to the
post-secondary education institution selected by the winning students.
One site hosting College Goal Sunday is Plymouth High
School. The event will begin at 2 p.m. ET.
