Assistance with the FAFSA Available!
In an effort to reach out to high school students and assist them in the financial aid process, the Illinois Student Assistance Commission is partnering with Waubonsee College to host a College Goal Sunday FAFSA completion event on Sunday, February 21, 2010. The event will be held at Waubonsee Community College from 10 AM to 2PM.
College Goal Sunday is a national effort with partners from various organizations, such as College Awareness & Preparation (CAP), the Illinois Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (ILASFAA), the Illinois Association for College Admission Counseling (IACAC), and the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC).
There will be several FAFSA line-by-line workshops that are immediately followed by a quick overview of what to expect after submission of the FAFSA. These workshops will be offered in both English and Spanish, and are scheduled for 10:30 AM and 11:45 AM. After these workshops, attendees will be able to complete their FAFSAs electronically, while various ISACorps members circulate the room to answer questions.
