An upcoming workshop at UW-L will provide free assistance to Wisconsin’s college-bound students who need help completing the financial aid form.
The 10th annual College Goal Wisconsin will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 25, in 102 Wing Technology Center.
College Goal Wisconsin addresses the needs of low-income and first-generation college students who are completing and submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The federal government requires a FAFSA from all students seeking financial aid, including grants and loans, to attend and pay for college.
Dependent students, those born after Jan. 1, 1992, should bring a parent along with completed federal income tax returns for 2014 (if filing) and W2 statements. If a parent isn’t available or the federal income tax is not completed, students may still attend. Those attending will be eligible for up to $30,000 in scholarships.
The Wisconsin Association for Student Financial Aid Administrators (WASFAA) sponsors the event, and 34 similar ones across the state. For more information regarding the event and a list of items needed to complete the FAFSA, visit www.collegegoalwi.org.
