The Kishwaukee College Financial Aid Office will hold workshops to assist local students with filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday and Feb. 27 in Room A-225 at the Kishwaukee College Conference Center. If there is inclement weather on Thursday, the “snow date” will be Feb. 5.

FAFSA Completion Nights allow students and their families an opportunity to fill out the FAFSA form with financial aid professionals from Kishwaukee College and Northern Illinois University, as well as high school guidance counselors and Kishwaukee Education Consortium staff. Any student who needs assistance can attend the FAFSA Completion Nights.

The FAFSA form is the first step in filing for financial aid to attend a college or university. Students and their families should bring all 2012 income verification, including IRS 2012 W-2 forms and the 1040 forms. They also should go to www.fafsa.gov to get their Personal Identification Number prior to attending FAFSA Completion Night.
