College Goal Sunday
College Goal Sunday is dedicated to guiding students and their families through the paperwork required to apply for financial aid. College Goal Sunday is for all families who want assistance in completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form. Financial aid officers and other qualified professionals volunteer their time to ensure students receive assistance in understanding and completing the paperwork necessary to receive financial aid.
Who should attend?
College Goal Sunday is open to everyone, including students from all income levels and college-going traditions, and traditional and nontraditional students. The program is open to all higher-education-bound students and their families. It is an excellent opportunity to network and have many of your financial aid questions answered!
Win a scholarship!
Students attending College Goal Sunday can enter to win a $500 scholarship that may be used at any accredited college or program in the nation. A $500 scholarship will be awarded at each College Goal Sunday site. Don't miss out!
What to bring:
People can use different pieces of financial information to complete the FAFSA. Bring tax returns, W-2's, tribal income, other aid-TANF, child support, other benefits, investment information, last year's tax return or even last year's ending pay stub. All information reviewed by the College Goal Sunday volunteers will be kept private and confidential and will not be used for any purpose other than helping the students and families apply for financial aid.
Students AND Parents, bring to College Goal Sunday:
- FAFSA PIN number - To obtain a PIN, log on to www.pin.ed.gov
- Correct Social Security numbers
- 2008 Federal Tax Returns
- 2007 Federal Tax Returns, if 2008 not complete
