High school sophomores, juniors and their parents will be able to get information on the college financial aid process during a free presentation offered by Southeast Polk High School and ICAN.®
The event will be held at 6:00 PM on Monday, February 24 in the auditorium of Southeast Polk High School. During the presentation, students and parents will receive information on topics including the financial aid process, understanding FAFSA results and college costs, financial aid options, the scholarship process and completing and filing financial aid forms.
“This presentation is very helpful for students and parents who are unsure exactly what is involved in the financial aid process,” says Erick Danielson with ICAN. “As students get closer to senior year, this presentation gives them the time to evaluate their choices and go into the process more knowledgeable and prepared for the journey ahead.”
Families will learn how to complete and file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), a free form available from the U.S. Department of Education via www.fafsa.ed.gov. Although professional assistance is not necessary to file the form, ICAN’s free services help reduce confusion and can ensure accuracy.
Please plan to join the ICAN representative at the Understanding Financial Aid presentation at 6:00 PM on Monday, February 24 at the Southeast Polk High School auditorium.
