College Goal Sunday at SCC on February 26

The staff of the Financial Aid Department at Shawnee Community College realizes that many students and their families are unaware of tuition assistance available and are unfamiliar with the application process. SCC is here to help with College Goal Sunday, which will be Sunday, February 26 at 2 p.m. in the Educational Center on the main campus near Ullin. College Goal Sunday is a day to gather information and complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) with the help of financial aid experts. Most major colleges and universities require the FAFSA to qualify for grants, scholarships, loans and other financial aid.

Participants will need to bring 2005 income tax information, W-2 forms, driver's license and proof of any other form of income for 2005, such as social security, child support or welfare benefits. In addition, dependent students need their parent's 2005 income tax information.

Shawnee Community College's low tuition and financial aid make higher education possible for everyone. Almost 70% of our students receive grants, scholarships or other financial assistance. Attend SCC's College Goal Sunday to find out how to get your share. Refreshments will be served and door prizes will be given.
