SHARED WISDOM
- (Added 2/1/24, William Wozniak, INvestEd): College Goal Sunday, Indiana’s largest FAFSA filing event is less than a month away! The only College Goal Sunday event this academic year is 2pm local time on February 25th at 40 locations across Indiana. Please feel free to direct your students and families to check out the FAFSA filing and event resources available at CollegeGoalSunday.org to find the location closest to them, and items to help get organized and ready for the event. College Goal Sunday is once again having a drawing for 5 scholarships worth $1,000 each for students who attend CGS and fill out a survey on February 25th! An important thing to make note of. FSA IDs being created BEFORE College Goal Sunday is strongly encouraged. To eliminate barriers to filing, students and parents should have these before February 25th. If you’d like to volunteer and help at Indiana’s largest FAFSA filing event, you can register at CollegeGoalSunday.org. You don’t have to be a financial aid expert to volunteer for CGS, just someone willing to help. We always need experts, but general financial aid help, registration staff, and translators are always greatly appreciated. Thank you all for any promotion or help you can provide and please feel free to email Bill Wozniak or call (317) 715-9002 if you have any questions!
