Sandburg to hold FAFSA Completion Seminar

If you are interested in obtaining financial aid for your college education, seniors and their parents should fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form is available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. and is used by the colleges to determine eligibility for financial aid.

Sandburg High School will hold a FAFSA Completion Seminar on Thursday, February 18, 2016 at 7:00 pm in E108. Bring tax information and W2’s. A representative from the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) will be available to assist with completing the FAFSA (federal financial aid form).

You should complete a FAFSA even if you do not expect to receive a grant in order to qualify for a federal subsidized loan.

Here is some important information you need to know about the FAFSA:

1. The FAFSA form should not be completed before January 1, 2016. Please check your colleges for priority deadlines.

2. Early completion of the FAFSA may qualify your student for government aid programs.

3. Be sure to follow all of the directions regarding the information required on the forms.
