The workshop is designed to provide financial-aid information and assistance in completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and is free and open to the public.
Financial aid experts and other volunteers will help parents and students with financial aid paperwork for any college or university and provide information about financial-aid options and eligibility for grants and scholarships. Participants must bring 2008 income-tax returns.
