Edison to Host Financial Aid Event

Edison Community College will host the free college financial aid event, “College Goal Sunday” (CGS) on Sunday, February 9, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. in room 313 at the Piqua Campus.

The statewide initiative is presented by the Ohio Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (OASFAA) and endorsed by the Ohio Board of Regents. CGS assists students and parents with completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

FAFSA is a federal application students are required to submit to receive federal financial aid. FAFSA plays a vital role in funding a college education and helping families overcome financial barriers that may otherwise prevent students from attending their institution of choice. Financial aid includes but is not limited to the Federal Pell Grant, student loans, and need-based state grants.

OASFAA is a non-profit, professional organization for individuals actively engaged in the administration of financial aid within the State of Ohio for higher education. As an educational organization, OASFAA strives to offer resources to students, families and high school advisors to promote higher education and increase awareness of financial aid opportunities.

Due to the high demand for assistance in completing FASFA, walk-ins are welcome, however, registration is encouraged. Families can register for College Goal Sunday online at www.ohiocollegegoalsunday.org or by calling 1-800-233-6734. For further questions regarding this event, contact Stacy Schloss at sschloss@edisonohio.edu.
