KC financial aid workshop is Friday

By Editor | May 31, 2012 |

The Kaskaskia College Financial Aid Office will host a FAFSA workshop from 1-3 p.m. this Friday in room L-102 on the KC main campus.
The purpose of this event is to help college-bound students who need to complete and submit the 2012-13 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Completing the FAFSA accurately and on time is the first and most-important step to obtaining state and federal financial aid.
By completing the FAFSA, students will be able to meet deadlines at the colleges they are considering.
The FAFSA information is critical for colleges to package financial aid awards for students.
Students and parents can receive free, individual assistance completing the FAFSA in room L-102 on the KC main campus. Financial aid professionals will be on hand to review the FAFSA form and to answer questions.
Students are asked to provide the following information:
driver’s license; Social Security number(s); alien ID card (if a non-U.S. citizen); 2011 Federal tax return(s); 2011 W-2 forms; needy families or welfare benefits; current bank statements; current business and investment mortgage information; business and farm records; stock, bond and other investment records; e-mail address; and completed 2012-13 FAFSA or pre-application worksheet (optional) and PIN number(s), if known.
For more information on the workshop, contact the Kaskaskia College Office of Financial Aid at 545-3080 or toll free at 1-800-642-0859, ext. 3080.
