College Goal Sunday Washington - January 28, 2007

T
On January 28, 2007, the first annual College Goal Sunday Washington kicks off in seven cities across the state. This three-hour workshop is a free, on-site program that helps students and families complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), the form that is required to apply for federal financial aid for higher education.
 
College Goal Sunday Washington starts at 2 p.m. on Jan. 28, 2007, and takes place at locations in Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Everett, Olympia/Lacey, Tri-cities/Pasco and Yakima. Learn more at: http://www.collegegoalsundaywa.org
 
Students should bring along their Social Security Number and drivers license (if any), as well as any financial records related to income (parents’ most recent income tax returns and/or last pay stub). Parents are strongly encouraged to attend with their children. But even with no paperwork at all, students and families can get help completing part of the FAFSA.
 
Please help us spread the word! Financial barriers—including the lack of funds and the lack of understanding about how to access funding—are deterring too many students and families from applying for college. Although 87% of high school students say they want a college degree, only 30% will actually succeed. This first-annual event will help families overcome this barrier. 
 
College Goal Sunday Washington is January 28, 2007!
