Prospective and current college students can get free help with their college financial aid application at College Goal Sunday at 2 p.m., in the Byrnes Auditorium at Madisonville Community College Health Campus, 750 N. Laffoon St.Professionals from Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) and MCC Financial Aid office will provide free assistance to students and families completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Students must complete the FAFSA to be considered for any type of financial aid—including student loans, work-study, grants, or scholarships.
Students should bring a completed copy of their 2008 IRS 1040 tax return and any other 2008 income and benefits information, including their parents’ tax returns. If families haven’t completed their taxes, financial aid professionals will be able to help fill out the rest of the FAFSA form and give instructions on the financial portion. Students who attend College Goal Sunday can enter a drawing for a scholarship to be used at any Kentucky institution.
For more information on applying for financial aid, contact the MCC Financial Aid Office at 821-2250.
