Students & parents can get free help on student aid this Sunday

Do you have a senior who is preparing for the next step in their educational journey? Do you want help filling out the financial aid paperwork? Come to Westfield High School this weekend for free help from 2 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 26.

Here’s what you need to 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.
  • Students and parent(s) are encouraged to apply for their U.S. Department of Education FSA IDs at gov before logging in to the event.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (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/technical schools nationwide. The FAFSA must be filed by the state of Indiana’s priority deadline of April 15 to guarantee state aid for those who qualify.
