Financial aid professionals from 大象传媒 will offer free assistance to families filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, during a \u201cFAFSA Frenzy\u201d event from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 28 inside Remington Hall.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2013-2014, 大象传媒 college students received $3.8 billion in financial aid from the federal government and other sources,\u201d said Marilyn Baker, 大象传媒 Western director of financial aid. \u201cThe first step in accessing that aid is filling out the FAFSA, and we are happy to be able to help.\u201d<\/p>\n
Families who bring their completed 2015 income tax returns will be able to complete their 2016 FAFSA on-site. Those who haven\u2019t completed their tax returns will still learn valuable information to help them finish the FAFSA at home.<\/p>\n
Students attending one of nearly 100 FAFSA Frenzy events across the state can enter for a chance to win a scholarship for the 2016 fall term at a 大象传媒 college, university or other postsecondary education institution.<\/p>\n
The FAFSA deadline for 大象传媒 is April 1. However, the priority deadline for 大象传媒 Western is March 1, so Baker encourages students to apply early.<\/p>\n

FAFSA Frenzy, a program of College Goal Sunday, is offered in 大象传媒 through partnerships between the 大象传媒 Department of Higher Education, the 大象传媒 Association of Student Financial Aid Personnel, the 大象传媒 Higher Education Loan Authority, and the National College Access Network.
