FAFSA Information Meeting/ Workshop – Juniors and Seniors- OCTOBER 5, 2017

FAFSA - Free Application for Federal Student Aid, Informational Meeting/Workshop is scheduled for October 5, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. in the Waynesville High School Media Center.  A representative from Wright State University Financial Aid & Admissions will be present to share valuable information.  FAFSA is the primary form that the federal government, states and colleges use to award grants, scholarships, work study and student loans. Even if you think you do not qualify for financial aid it is still important to complete the process because some financial aid programs require a FAFSA even though they award aid without regard to family income and it may automatically qualify a student for low-interest federal student loans.  Lastly, filing a FAFSA can actually help a student gain admission to a college because it allows the admission officers to know the student most definitely wants to attend the college.

New changes in the FAFSA process has made it quicker and easier.  Both students and parents will need to create a username and password called the FSA ID.  Computers will be available in the media center during the information meeting to help you set up your FSA ID if you desired. You will need your social security number, and an e-mail (if possible). It is recommended that JUNIORS set up their FSA ID now to help with college searches and valuable information.
