Get help completing your FAFSA so you can get free money for college or trade school! FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and completing one is the most important thing you can do to get free money for college or advanced job training. Every high school senior should complete one! Join us at one of our FAFSA events for one-on-one help with your application:

• Saturday, Feb. 25 from 11am-2pm at Wilson Teaching & Learning Academy (2710 E. 11th St.).
• Thursday, March 2 from 4:30-7:30pm at Parent Resource Center (525 E. 46th St. N).

Even if you might not qualify for state or federal funding, completing your FAFSA is an application requirement for many colleges, universities, tech schools, and scholarships!

Spanish interpretation will be provided. Click here for more information about FAFSA.
