The FASFA is the official document used by every college and university to determine eligibility for federal student aid. The form must be completed by students and parents each year to apply for all types of federal, state or college-sponsored financial aid – including grants, some scholarships, educational loans and work programs.

Come ask questions, use our computer labs to fill out online forms and have one-on-one assistance from knowledgeable volunteers who will walk you through the entire process.

Reservations are recommended but not required.

Make sure you know what you need to bring along – i.e. 2008 IRS Tax returns and W-2 statements, most recent 2008 bank statement, Social Security number, driver’s license, veterans benefits, etc.
