Seniors and Juniors

Important Information: 

It's FAFSA season.  The FAFSA is an important part of qualifying for financial aids, grants, and some school specific scholarships.  All families, regardless of financial situation, should complete this process.  Here's what you do:

1. Go to www.PIN.ed.gov and register for your PIN.  Two PINs are needed; one for the student and one for a parent/guardian.
2. Gather federal tax filing paperwork.
3. Start completing the FAFSA.  Go to www.FAFSA.ed.gov to begin this process.
4. Double check with your intended institution regarding FAFSA filing deadline.  Some schools will have a deadline prior to March 1st.

If you find you will need assistance completing the FAFSA, consider bringing your financial information and PINs to College Goal Sunday at Ivy Tech Muncie on February 20 @ 2 p.m.  You can find information at http://www.collegegoalsunday.org/.
