We have a short interest form that students or parents can fill out indicating their interest in receiving Financial Aid information or help in completing the FAFSA form.  This is a FREE service; there is no fee or service charge.  Please share this FAFSA Student Interest link http://tinyurl.com/y4npcf9d with interested students and parents at your school. 
The data obtained will be sent to local county colleges and universities, so that they can follow up with information about local FAFSA Day events and offers of FAFSA completion assistance.
