TERRE HAUTE , Ind – Financial aid professionals will be volunteering at Ivy Tech Community College Terre Haute to help college-bound students and their families fill out their FAFSA forms. College Goal Sunday will be held this weekend February 23, 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. at Ivy Tech Terre Haute, 8000 S. Education Drive.

Volunteers will assist Indiana students in filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Volunteers will walk through the online form line-by-line and answer questions as needed.

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. The FAFSA MUST be filed by April 15 to be eligible for Indiana financial aid.

Students should attend College Goal Sunday with their parent(s) or guardian(s), and parents should bring completed 2018 IRS 1040 tax returns, W-2 Forms and other 2018 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 2018 IRS 1040 tax return, W-2 Form or other 2018 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.
