Oakton Sponsors College Financial Aid Workshops

Students and parents can learn more about the "ins and outs" of college financial aid at two free "FAFSA Completion Day" workshops sponsored by Oakton Community College. Workshops are scheduled: 4 - 7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 7, at Oakton's Des Plaines campus, 1600 E. Golf Road, and 9 a.m. - 1 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 23, at the Skokie campus, 7701 N. Lincoln Avenue. Free parking is available.

Offered in English, Spanish, Polish, and Korean, this program is open to the public, especially families seeking financial aid for the 2008-2009 academic year, regardless of where students plan to attend college, in or out of state.

Financial aid experts will assist families in completing the 2008-2009 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is required for any federal or state financial assistance. Financial aid professionals will utilize Oakton's computer labs to help families complete the FAFSA application, which is available online through the U.S. Department of Education.

Participants are asked to bring all records and personal data needed to complete the FAFSA application, including copies of 2007 income tax forms, W-2 forms, and bank statements; Social Security cards; and driver's license and immigration cards, if applicable.

For information, call 847-635-1708, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This event is part of Financial Aid Admission Awareness Month, sponsored by the Illinois Association for College Admission Counseling (IACAC), Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), and Illinois Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators.
