Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
New this year, the N.C. State Education Assistance Authority is providing a link where
students/families can receive assistance with financial aid/FAFSA completion. The link asks students/families to complete a VERY short form – name, email, county of residence, and how they wish to be contacted – and once the request is received a financial aid office will then send information on the events in the family’s area. The students are not required to attend a nearby college in order to receive FAFSA completion assistance and the service is free. The link is http://tinyurl.com/y4npcf9d.
