Allen Countians took advantage of Allen Community College’s College Goal Sunday to learn how their high school seniors could receive the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA).
The annual one-day national event began with an informal question-and-answer session where family and students could learn the importance of applying for aid.
FASFA is an under utilized aid for students and families paying tuition.
The application must be renewed each year. Lillie Grubb, a volunteer from Fort Scott Community College, said a good way to remember is to always do it when it’s time to file taxes.
Crest High School senior Brytton Strickler, and her mother Sammye Strickler, said they came to the event to “get the help. We had questions,” Sammye said.
