FAFSA Workshop to be held at KC Workforce Center

The Kaskaskia College Financial Aid will host a FAFSA Workshop on Monday, April 23 from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m. at the Kaskaskia College Workforce Center located at 325 South Poplar in Centralia.

The purpose of this event is to help college-bound students who need to complete and submit the 2012-13 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Completing the FAFSA accurately and on time is the first and most important step to obtaining state and federal financial aid. By completing the FAFSA students will be able to meet deadlines at the colleges they are considering. FAFSA information is critical for colleges to package financial aid awards for students.

Students and parents can receive free, individual assistance completing the FAFSA in room L-102 on the KC Main Campus. Financial aid professionals will be on hand to review the FAFSA form and to answer any questions you may have.
