FASFA Workshops for Spanish-speakers

Montgomery County Community College will hold two FASFA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) workshops for Spanish-speaking families.

All college-bound students, regardless of what college they plan to attend, are invited to attend the workshops to receive free assistance in completing the FASFA application, which is required by colleges, universities and private schools to qualify for grants, scholarships, loans and work study.

The workshops will be held Feb. 10 from 5 to 7 p.m., in South Hall Community Room at the college's West Campus, 101 College Drive, Pottstown; and March 9 from 5 to 7 p.m., at Police Athletic League Center, 340 Harding Blvd., Norristown.

Financial aid and admissions sessions will take place from 6 to 7 p.m., during both workshop sessions.

Students who plan to complete the FASFA and are age 23 or younger should attend with a parent or guardian. Both student and parent should bring social security cards, driver's licenses, 2010 federal tax returns, W-2 forms and other income information, as well as paperwork about any savings, investments and assets they may have.

Students who are over age 24 may attend alone, and should bring social security cards, driver's licenses, 2010 federal tax returns, W-2 forms and other income information, as well as paperwork about any savings, investments and assets they may have.
