Every high school senior, college student, and adult student who will be attending college during the 2016-2017 academic year needs to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to apply for federal, state, and institutional financial aid. FAFSA Day Massachusetts, part of the national College Goal SundaySM program, provides FREE help statewide to students and families looking to complete the FAFSA.
Upper Cape Tech in Bourne will host the twelfth annual FAFSA Day Massachusetts locally on Sunday, January 31 at 1:00 pm. Families are encouraged to visit www.FAFSADay.org to register and to see a list of what to bring.
The services are FREE and available to anyone attending college for the 2016-2017 academic year; low-income, first-generation students are especially encouraged to attend. Many locations will have services available in various languages; for a list of available languages, please visit www.FAFSADay.org.
FAFSA Day is staffed by volunteer financial aid and higher education experts who will be available to provide families one-on-one assistance. FAFSA Day is a nonprofit program sponsored by the Massachusetts Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, MEFA, American Student Assistance, and USA Funds. Over 14,000 students have been served during FAFSA Day events.
