Edison State Community College
Free Financial
Aid Event to be Held
Edison State Community College will host the statewide college
financial aid event “College Goal Sunday” (CGS) on February 14, 2016,
at 2 p.m. at the Piqua campus.
The free event, presented by the Ohio Association of Student Financial
Aid Administrators (OASFAA) and endorsed by the Ohio Board of Regents,
is designed to assist students and parents with completing the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is the federal
application that is required to receive federal financial aid including
the Federal Pell Grant and student loans as well as the need-based
state grants.
The FAFSA is the key to funding a college education and helping
families to overcome financial barriers that otherwise prevent students
from attending the institution they want to. Studies show that a
student is 50% more likely to attend college when they complete the
FAFSA. While walk-ins are welcome, registration is encouraged.
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 great demand expected for assistance in completing the
FASFA, families are encouraged to pre-register for the free event at
www.ohiocollegegoalsunday.org or by calling 1-800-233-6734.
