Financial Aid Workshop Open to All College Students

Parents and students who need help with college financial aid are invited to attend a free "FAFSA Completion Day" workshop, Noon - 7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 17, at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines. This free program, offered in English, Spanish, and Polish, is open to all students seeking financial aid for the 2005-2006 academic year - regardless of where they plan to attend college, in or out of state.

Financial aid experts will assist families in completing the 2005-2006 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 2004 income tax forms, W-2 forms, and bank statements; Social Security cards; and driver's license and immigration cards, if applicable.

The program is free and open to the public. Free parking is available in Lot D. For more 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.
