Students planning to attend college next fall will be able to get some free help with some of the paperwork next weekend. As part of College Goal Sunday, financial aid professionals around the state will be hosting workshops on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It needs to be filed by April 15, in order for students to qualify for federal and state grants, scholarships, and student loans.

College Goal Sunday workshops will be held on February 24 at 2:00 p.m. local time at 39 locations in Indiana. Locally, sites include Plymouth High School, Purdue Northwest in Westville, Rensselaer Central High School, and Ivy Tech Community College in Logansport and Valparaiso.

Organizers say students should attend the event with a parent or guardian. They should bring 2017 tax returns, W-2 forms, and other income information. Students and parents are also encouraged to create a U.S. Department of Education FSA ID online before going to the event.
