IUPUC to host College Goal Sunday, a Financial Aid event

February 10, 2011

The IUPUC Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships will host College Goal Sunday on Sunday, February 20th from 2 to 4 p.m. at the second floor computer labs of the Columbus Learning Center.

Students should attend with their parent(s) or guardian(s) and bring their parents’ completed 2010 IRS 1040 tax returns, W-2 Forms and other 2010 income and benefits information. If students worked last year, they should also bring their income information. Students 24 years of age or older may attend alone and bring their own completed 2010 IRS 1040 tax return, W-2 Form or other 2010 income and benefits information. Students and parents need to apply for their U.S. Department of Education Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) at www.pin.ed.gov before coming to the event.

College Goal Sunday is a statewide charitable program that provides free  information and assistance to Indiana families applying for financial aid for postsecondary education. At College Goal Sunday – now in its 22nd year – financial aid professionals from Indiana colleges and universities help students who qualify for undergraduate admission to a college or technical school in 2011 complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students seeking federal and state grants, loans and scholarships, as well as other financial awards, must complete the form. FAFSA forms, required by educational institutions nationwide, must be received by the federal processor by March 10, 2011 for Indiana residents.
