Information covered
will include the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, deadlines and tips
that will make completing the FAFSA easier. A counselor will also talk about
the financial aid process and the different types of aid that are available to
families and students. Finally, the counselor will talk about different
situations that can affect aid, such as income, academic progress and whether a
student is considered a dependent or independent student. There will be time
for questions during or after the presentation.
In February 2015, the
Financial Aid staff will offer two different FAFSA completion nights, one from 5:30
to 7:30 p.m. Feb. 12 at Warren County Career Center and one from 5:30 to 7:30
p.m. Feb. 19 in the Richard E. and Ruth McDowell Sport and Fitness Center computer
lab.
Those sessions will
enable families to complete the FAFSA online with aid from the staff. Those
interested should bring their 2014 federal tax return, if complete, or their
2013 federal tax return if the 2014 return is not yet done. Families should
also bring federal PIN numbers if they have them and investment statements for
assets other than retirement accounts.
