Get Free Help with Your Financial Aid Application
Financial aid – the odds are in your favor
You don’t have to earn top grades or live in poverty to get financial help. Last year, more than 70,000 students from low- and middle-income families received financial aid from the state of Indiana. Nearly half of Indiana’s college students qualify for financial aid, making your odds about 50/50 that you’ll get some help to pay the bills.
Who should attend
The event is for high school seniors and other Indiana students who qualify for undergraduate admission to a college or technical school in 2012 and need financial aid.
How it works
Attend College Goal Sunday at 2 p.m. local time, Sunday, February 12 at any of the 40 sites throughout the state and receive free help from financial aid experts in completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
