WOOSTER, Ohio -- Students and families in northeast Ohio can get free help completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, starting at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 9, in the Halterman Hall computer lab at the Ohio State University Agricultural Technical Institute (Ohio State ATI), 1328 Dover Road, in Wooster. The program is part of national College Goal Sunday.
The FAFSA is the federal application required to receive federal financial aid for college, including Federal Pell Grants, federal student loans and need-based state grants.
Ohio State ATI is the two-year degree-granting branch of Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences.
Organizers say the FAFSA is a key to funding a college education and helping families overcome financial barriers that may otherwise keep a student from attending a desired institution.
Registration is encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome. Participants can register online at http://www.ohiocollegegoalsunday.org or by calling 800-233-6734.
The event is sponsored by the Ohio Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (OASFAA) and is endorsed by the Ohio Board of Regents.
OASFAA is a non-profit professional organization for individuals actively engaged in the administration of higher-education financial aid in Ohio.
