AIC to Host FAFSA Day MA

Every high school senior, college student, and adult student who plans on attending college in the 2016–2017 academic year and is looking to apply for federal, state, and institutional financial aid needs to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). FAFSA Day Massachusetts, part of the national College Goal Sunday^SM program, provides FREE help statewide to students and families looking to complete the FAFSA.

The twelfth annual FAFSA Day Massachusetts is being held at AIC on Sunday, January 31, 2016. Registration begins at 12:30 pm in AIC’s Griswold Theatre on campus. Congressman Richard E. Neal will welcome students and their families at 1 pm. Financial aid experts from local colleges will be on hand to offer families individual assistance. Help will also be provided in Spanish. Computer access is available.

The service is free and available to anyone attending college for the 2016-2017 academic year. Low income and first generation students are especially encouraged to attend.

FAFSA Day is a nonprofit program sponsored by the Massachusetts Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority (MEFA), American Student Assistance, and USA Funds. AIC is the only Springfield-based venue out of 30 locations statewide where this service will be offered. More than 14,000 students have been served during FAFSA Day events.
