Families, students can get help with college aid

Local families with college or college-bound students can get help filling out a critical form to get financial aid.

College Goal Sunday is Sunday and local students can participate at 2 p.m. at Ivy Tech Community College, 2205 McClain Drive, Franklin.

Financial aid experts will be ready with free help and families can potentially complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid in one afternoon.

The application is required for students who want state and federal aid for college, including loans.

Students also can get help at Beech Grove High School, 5330 Hornet Ave., Beech Grove.
