Financial aid professionals from across Indiana will be volunteering at 39 sites to help college bound students and their families open the door to financial aid during College Goal Sunday.
This year’s event is set for November 6 at 2 p.m. ET.
The free program assists Indiana students in filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA form is required for students to be considered for federal and state grants, scholarships, and Federal student loans at most colleges, universities, and vocational and technical schools nationwide.
The FAFSA must be filed by April 15 to be eligible for Indiana financial aid. In less than one afternoon during College Goal Sunday, students and their families can get free help and file the form.
Students should attend College Goal Sunday with their parents or guardians, and should bring completed 2021 IRS 1040 tax returns, W-2 Forms and other 2021 income and benefits information. Students who worked should also bring their income information. Students 24 years of age or older may attend alone and bring their completed 2021 IRS 1040 tax return, W-2 Form or other 2021 income and benefits information.
Attendees may win a scholarship from College Goal Sunday. Students may also win one of five $1,000 scholarships. Students who attend College Goal Sunday and submit a completed evaluation form will automatically be entered in a drawing for a $1,000 scholarship. The winners will be notified in spring and scholarships will be sent directly to the higher education institution selected by the winning students.
The nearest College Goal Sunday site is the Plymouth High School at #1 Big Red Drive.
