College Readiness Series: Financial Aid Application Completion Workshop

During this workshop students will be able to get questions answered to complete either the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid (Alternative Application) for qualifying undocumented.

These are the forms used to apply for financial aid, such as the Federal Pell Grant and/or the Illinois Monetary Award Program (MAP). Many colleges also use these forms to consider students for institutional money.

Individuals should create an FSA ID at least three business days prior to the workshop to expedite the submission of the FAFSA. The FSA ID is also used to retrieve their tax and income information via the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. Please note that the FSA ID is not used with the Alternative Application.

Individuals should have information regarding their income and asset information readily available.

All students, parents, and caregivers are welcome to join us; refreshments will be provided for those in attendance.

This series was made possible through a collaboration by Oak Park and River Forest High School, the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, and the library. See all of the upcoming events in the series »
