Issue date: 2/7/10 Section: Neighborhood
College-bound students and their families can get professional assistance filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form at the 2010 College Goal Sunday event Feb. 14 at Montgomery College's Takoma Park/Silver Spring campus from 2-4 p.m. in the Charlene R. Nunley Student Services Center, 7625 Fenton Avenue, Silver Spring, Md. Parking is available in the Montgomery College garage, on Fenton Street. The campus is also accessible by public transportation.
College Goal Sunday is one of many such events held across the country to assist families as they complete the FAFSA-the form required by colleges, universities, and private career schools to qualify for scholarships, grants and loans. College Goal Sunday is free and open to the public. Spanish interpreters will be available at Montgomery College.
Students and families will meet with financial aid professionals and use the Montgomery College computer labs to submit their FAFSA form online. Information will also be available about Maryland state grants and scholarships, and students can enter to win a $500 scholarship.
Students who are 23 years old or younger should attend College Goal Sunday with a parent or guardian. Families should bring copies of their completed IRS 1040 tax form, W-2 form or other 2009 income and benefits information to assist with the completion of the FAFSA form. Students who are 24 years and may bring their own tax return, W-2 form or other information. The snow date is Feb. 21, same time and location.
