Financial aid professionals from around Indiana will be present at 39 locations during College Goal Sunday to assist college-bound students and their families with the essential financial aid form. The event is scheduled for 2 PM (local time) at Plymouth High School this Sunday, February 23rd.
This free program assists Indiana students with filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is required for students to be considered for federal and state grants, many scholarships, and even federal student loans at most colleges, universities, and vocational/technical schools nationwide. Filing must occur by the State of Indiana priority deadline of April 15th to guarantee state aid for those who qualify. Many families perceive the form to be too complicated and time-consuming to complete, which often leads to students missing out on the financial aid they would receive. This is one of many reasons College Goal Sunday is so important. In less than one afternoon during the event, students and their families get free help from the expert volunteers and file the form.
Now in its 36th year, College Goal Sunday, a charitable program of the Indiana Student Financial Aid Association (ISFAA), has helped more than 98,000 Indiana students and families complete the FAFSA properly and on time.
Students should attend College Goal Sunday with their parent(s) or guardian(s), and parent(s) should bring completed 2023 IRS 1040 tax returns, W-2 Forms, and other 2023 income and benefits information. Students who work should also bring their income information. Students 24 years or older may attend alone and bring their completed 2023 IRS 1040 tax return, W-2 Form, or other 2023 income and benefits information. Students and parent(s) are encouraged to apply for their U.S. Department of Education FSA IDs at studentaid.gov before coming to the event.
Volunteers will be available to assist with the online form and answer all families’ individual questions during College Goal Sunday. All sites offer FAFSA online capabilities, and many have Spanish interpreters available. A complete list of sites is available at CollegeGoalSunday.org.
