Financial Aid Workshops and Presentations
Workshops are hands-on events where students can get assistance in a group setting. Students must bring a verified account username and password (FSA ID), parent or spouse name, date of birth, social security number, email address, 2022 federal income tax return, W-2s and other income records, and bank statements/asset information (if required). Parents and guardians are welcome to attend these workshops.
Presentations are not a hands-on session and students will not be able to complete the FAFSA or WASFA at this event. The presentation will present to students how to fill out the FAFSA and WASFA. After the presentation, the Financial Aid Staff will take questions.
