Event to help Hoosier students file their FAFSA

PLYMOUTH, Ind. -- Financial aid professionals will be hosting a free College Goal Sunday event at Plymouth High School on Sunday to help Indiana students file their Free Application for Federal Student Aid forms.

This event will begin at 2 p.m. on Sunday and is free to attend by all students and their families.

Filing FASFA forms will help Hoosier students become eligible for a long list of financial aid, scholarship, grant and loan opportunities.

“Last year, Indiana high school graduates missed out on $65 million in Pell Grants by not filing the FAFSA. If you are considering education beyond high school, filing the FAFSA is the best way to ensure you are receiving available financial aid. College Goal Sunday offers one-on-one assistance from financial aid experts to students and families to ensure their FAFSA is accurately completed,” said Teresa Lubbers, Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education.

Over the past 32 years, College Goal Sunday has helped more that 94,000 Indiana students file a FAFSA form properly and on time.

To be eligible for Indiana financial aid, Hoosier students must complete and submit their FAFSA form by April 15.
