Wenatchee Valley College students and members of the public are invited to attend an FAFSA/WASFA night workshop from 5-8 p.m. Nov. 13. This financial aid event is free.

Check-in for this event will be in the first-floor atrium of Wenatchi Hall. The event will take place in the second-floor computer lab of Wenatchi Hall. Parents are also encouraged to attend if they are filing with the student or have questions.

Students will get help filling out their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA) with the help from WVC experts. Assistance will be available in both Spanish and English. To receive help with their applications students must bring:

• Their 2017 tax forms
• Their parents’ 2017 tax forms (if filing as a dependent)
• Their W-2 tax statement(s)
• Their parents’ W-2 tax statements (if filing as a dependent)
• Both their FSA ID and their parents’ FSA ID

Students will also learn about college preparation, admission, and scholarships, as well as the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) and Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) program.

This event is part of College Goal Washington and is sponsored by the Washington Student Achievement Council. College Goal Washington aims to reduce the barriers students face in paying for college.
