Local prospective college students can get help filing important financial aid paperwork on Sunday.
Financial aid professionals will be volunteering at 39 sites in Indiana to help college bound students and their families fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid during College Goal Sunday.
The closest site in the county is at Ivy Tech in Franklin, 2205 McCLain Drive. The event starts at 2 p.m.Â
The FAFSA form is required for students to be considered for federal and state grants, scholarships and student loans at most colleges, universities and vocational/technical schools nationwide.
Students and their parents should attend and parents should bring completed 2017 IRS 1040 tax returns, W-2 Forms and other 2017 income and benefits information. Students who worked last year should bring their income information as well.
Students 24 years of age or older may attend alone and bring their own completed 2017 IRS 1040 tax return, W-2 Form or other 2017 income and benefits information. Students and parents are encouraged to apply for their U.S. Department of Education FSA IDs at fsaid.ed.gov before coming to the event.
The FAFSA must be filed by April 15 to be eligible for Indiana financial aid.
