The FAFSA application opened Oct. 1. Have you filed yet? If you or your parents aren’t comfortable filing on your own, come to our FAFSA Frenzy event to get free personalized help.

By attending, you can also apply for a $500 Journey to College Scholarship.

The FAFSA is the primary form used by federal, state and college financial aid programs to determine students’ eligibility for grants, scholarships, work-study and loans.

Students and parents should bring the following items to a FAFSA Frenzy event to complete the 2023-24 application:

• Student and parent FSA ID username and password.
• Student’s Social Security Number.
• A list of schools to which you have applied, been accepted to, or are interested in attending.
• Student and parent 2021 W-2 forms and/or tax return copies. Parental information is required for dependent students (most undergraduate students under the age of 24).

• Determine if you are an independent or dependent student.
