VU, VUJC to provide free help on College Goal Sunday

Local Sources- Vincennes University and Vincennes University Jasper are providing prospective students and their families assistance in filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form during College Goal Sunday on Feb. 26, 2023.

College Goal Sunday is a free event that helps students of all ages and families complete and file the FAFSA form. The FAFSA is one of the most important steps in opening the door to financial aid. 

The Vincennes Campus College Goal Sunday starts at 2 p.m. (ET) in Room 132 of Updike Hall - Center for Science, Engineering, and Mathematics in the SEM Learning Lab. The VUJ College Goal Sunday begins at 2 p.m. (ET) in the Jasper Campus Classroom Building.

The FAFSA is a student’s gateway to financial aid. The application is required for students to be considered for federal and state grants, scholarships, and federal student loans at most colleges, universities, and vocational/technical schools nationwide. The FAFSA must be filed by the State of Indiana priority deadline of April 15 to guarantee state aid for those that qualify.

Volunteers will walk individuals through filling out the form and answer students' and families’ individual questions.
