Fitchburg State hosts FAFSA Day Jan. 27

Fitchburg State University will join more than 25 other institutions offering free help on the free application for federal student aid (FAFSA) for college-bound students on FAFSA Day Massachusetts on Sunday, Jan. 27 at 1 p.m. The university's financial aid professionals will offer assistance at the campus center in Hammond Hall, 160 Pearl St.

Every high school senior, college student, and adult student who will be attending college during the 2013-2014 academic year needs to complete the FAFSA in order to apply for federal, state and institutional financial aid. FAFSA Day Massachusetts, a College Goal Sunday program, provides free help statewide to students and families looking to complete the FAFSA.

The ninth annual FAFSA Day Massachusetts is being held Sunday, Jan. 27 at 1 p.m. at over 25 locations, with additional locations available on different dates and times. Families are encouraged to visit http://www.FAFSADAY.org to register, and to view locations, dates and times. The services are free and available to anyone entering college in 2013; low-income, first-generation students are especially encouraged to attend. Many locations will have services available in various languages.

FAFSA Day is staffed by volunteer financial aid and higher education experts available to provide families one-on-one assistance. FAFSA Day is a non-profit program sponsored by Massachusetts Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, MEFA, American Student Assistance, and USA Funds. Over 10,000 students have been served during FAFSA Day events.
