Local university professionals to assist in FAFSA filing at College Goal Sunday
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Financial aid professionals from Ivy Tech, the University of Southern Indiana and the University of Evansville will be assisting collegebound students and their families to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid as part of College Goal Sunday at the Carter Library on the Ivy Tech Evansville campus.
'Indiana was a nationwide leader last year in maintaining the FAFSA-filing rate from 2023 to 2024,' said Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Chris Lowery. 'The FAFSA is a gateway to unlock potential career options, improved social and financial outcomes for individuals, strengthening Indiana's talent pipeline and enhancing our communities as a whole.'
FAFSA applications are required for students to be considered for federal and state grants, many scholarships and federal student loans at most colleges and universities. Filings must be completed by April 15 in the Hoosier State.
College Goal Sunday will take place on February, fro 2 to 4 p.m.. Students are asked to attend the event with their parents or guardians and to have them bring completed 2023 IRS 1040 tax returns, W-2 forms and other 2023 income and benefits information. Students who worked should also bring their income information. Students 24-years-old or older may attend alone and bring their completed tax return information.
Students who attend the event may also be entered in a drawing for one of five $1,000 scholarships. For more information, visit the College Goal Sunday website.
