Students and their families can receive free help completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid at FAFSA Frenzy events planned in communities across Missouri over the next several months.
Locally, North Central Missouri College will be hosting an event for area students on Monday, Nov. 13 from 1 to 4 p.m. and on Tuesday, Nov. 14, from 1 to 7 p.m. Both sessions will be held in the Alexander Student Center on the NCMC campus.
FAFSA Frenzy participants should bring a 2016 W-2 form, copies of their 2016 tax forms, their Social Security number and students and parents FSA IDs (students and parents should apply for separate FSA ID user names and passwords, which can be obtained at https://fsaid.ed.gov/npas/index.htm, before attending a FAFSA Frenzy event.)
Filing a FAFSA is the first step students must take to apply for most financial aid for college. Financial aid professionals, high school counselors and other volunteers provide free assistance and answer questions during the events.
Students should fill out a FAFSA every year they plan to attend college. The application determines eligibility for most types of federal and state financial aid, including grants, scholarships and loans as well as financial assistance offered by colleges and universities.
