SHEPHERDSTOWN, WV -
The first annual West Virginia College Goal Sunday (CGS) event will be held at 17 sites around West Virginia, including Shepherdstown, WV, on February 21, 2010 from 1:00pm to 5:00pm.

SHEPHERD UNIVERSITY
WHITE HALL - ROOMS 204 & 209
SHEPHERDSTOWN, WV 25443

This event is an opportunity for students and parents to have financial aid experts provide free assistance in filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the cornerstone of the higher education financial aid application process. 

The FAFSA is a crucial first step for all college students who plan to pay for college with the help of grants, scholarships, work-study funds and/or student loans. 

Individuals who plan to attend college and would like help with completion of the FAFSA or would like answers regarding general financial aid questions are encouraged to attend.  Interested students and parents are asked to bring their Social Security numbers, 2009 Federal Tax Return, W-2, other income records, driver’s license and other valid ID to the session.  The more income information that families can provide, the more likely they will be able to submit their FAFSA on the day of the event.  All information shared is protected by privacy laws.

College Goal Sunday was created by the Indiana Student Financial Aid Association with funding from the Lilly Endowment Inc. and supplemental support from the Lumina Foundation for Education.  This year’s efforts in West Virginia are coordinated by the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission, the West Virginia TRiO Association, and the West Virginia Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators with funding by a grant from the Lumina Foundation.
