Minnesota College Goal - February 19th, 2012 and March 3, 2012 at MSU, Mankato from 1-3 p.m.
Minnesota College Goal is an opportunity to complete your FAFSA under the guidance of a trained financial aid professional. The event is free and open to anyone wishing to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid form.
Filling out financial aid paperwork can be complicated and time-consuming, but College Goal Sunday makes it easy.
College Goal Sunday is a program that helps college-bound students, who plans to attend college in 2012, and their families complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). College Goal Sunday provides on-site help from financial aid experts. Most colleges, universities and vocational/technical schools in the nation require students seeking federal financial aid, including grants and loans, to complete the FAFSA.
Students should attend with their parent(s) or guardian(s) and bring their parents' completed 2011 IRS 1040 tax returns, W-2 Forms and other 2011 income and benefits information. If students worked last year, they should also bring their income information. Students, 24 years or older, may attend alone and bring their own completed 2011 IRS 1040 tax return, W-2 Form or other 2011 income and benefits information. Students are encouraged to bring their U.S. Department of Education Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) for filing online. Parents will also need to obtain a PIN to file online. Obtain your PIN prior to College Goal Sunday by going to www.pin.ed.gov
