Need Help Filling Out the FAFSA? Come to FAFSA Fridays!

The Financial Aid Office is helping students fill out the FAFSA on Fridays through March from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Do you need help filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)? if so, you're in luck. The Cañada College Financial Aid Department will host FAFSA Fridays (except March 21) through the end of March from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Financial Aid Office, Building 9, Room 109. No appointment necessary! Just show up and receive hands-on assistance.

Remember, to meet the Cal Grant deadline, you must file the 2008-09 FAFSA and Cal Grant GPA verification by March 3. After that date, all other federal programs are still open for application. You can still file the 2007-08 FAFSAs for the current school year through June 30. Financial aid is available year-round for qualified students. For more information, contact the Financial Aid Department at 306-3307.
