Free Financial
Aid Event to be held at Edison
Edison Community College will host the state-wide college financial aid
event “College Goal Sunday” (CGS) on February 8, 2015 at 2 p.m. The
free event, presented by the Ohio Association of Student Financial Aid
Administrators (OASFAA) and endorsed by the Ohio Board of Regents,
assists students and parents with completing the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is the federal application that
is required to receive federal financial aid including the Federal Pell
Grant and student loans as well as the need-based state grants.
Due to the great demand expected for assistance in completing the
FASFA, families are encouraged to register for the free event at
www.ohiocollegegoalsunday.org<http://www.ohiocollegegoalsunday.org>
or by calling 1-800-233-6734. The FAFSA is the key to funding a college
education and helping families to overcome financial barriers that
otherwise prevent students from attending the institution they want to.
Studies show that a student is 50% more likely to attend college when
they complete the FAFSA. While walk-ins are welcome, registration is
encouraged. Record numbers are expected to be in attendance.
OASFAA is a non-profit, professional organization for individuals
actively engaged in the administration of financial aid within the
State of Ohio for higher education. As an educational organization,
OASFAA strives to offer resources to students, families and high school
advisors to promote higher education and increase awareness of
financial aid opportunities.
