Financial Aid Workshop Open to All College Students

Parents and students seeking help in paying for college are invited to attend a "FAFSA Completion Day" workshop, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 25, at the Ray Hartstein Campus of Oakton Community College, 7701 N. Lincoln Ave., Skokie. This free program is provided as a community service to any student seeking financial aid for the 2006-2007 academic year, regardless of the Illinois or out-of-state college they plan to attend.

Financial aid experts will assist families in completing the 2006-2007 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.

Students and parents should be prepared to bring the records and personal data needed to complete the FAFSA application, including copies of 2005 income tax forms, W-2 forms, and bank statements; Social Security cards; and driver's license and immigration cards, if applicable. Participants may request personal assistance in English, Spanish, and Polish.

The program is free and open to the public. Free parking in Lots A and 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 College Awareness and Preparation Month, sponsored by the Illinois Association for College Admission Counseling (IACAC), Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), and Illinois Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators.
