2019 Fall FAFSA Night
Fall FAFSA Night will be held Tuesday, Oct. 29 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Aiken Technical College (ATC) in its 700 building. This event is hosted by ATC, USC Aiken, and the SC Commission on Higher Education.
Area parents and students will have the opportunity to receive free, personal assistance in completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2020-21 academic year. The FAFSA is required to determine a student’s eligibility to receive federal financial aid such as grants, work-study, and student loans. In some cases, it is also needed to determine eligibility for state and local funding.
Financial aid staff from ATC and USC Aiken will be on hand to assist students and parents with completing the FAFSA. This event is open to all students, regardless of where they plan to attend college.
Attendees will need the below information to complete the FAFSA. Those who are dependent students will need to bring information for their parent(s)/guardian(s) as well. (For information on dependent vs. independent student status, visit https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa/filling-out/dependency.)
