COLLEGE GOAL WISCONSIN- FAFSA Help at JMM in the LMC!
For seniors who are applying to any college setting, they will likely need to fill out the FAFSA, or FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID. On WEDNESDAY, November 7th, at 6pm sharp, JMM will host COLLEGE GOAL WISCONSIN, an event to help all students and families who show up to COMPLETE THEIR FAFSA. Students should come with their parent or guardian, or if that's not possible, come alone and GET IT DONE! There will even be a scholarship drawing for students who attend.
Students/families will need to bring some documents with them. See this FLYER for those details. Don't put it off. RECEIVE HELP WITH GETTING YOUR FAFSA DONE!
