FIU to host College Goal Sunday


FIU will host “College Goal Sunday.”  The one-day event aims to help college-bound students fill out their financial aid forms to ensure access to higher education.  Similar workshops are being held throughout South Florida and the state.

High school seniors and their families are invited to attend to get help from financial aid experts in completing their forms, including those required for federal aid, such as the Federal Pell Grant Program, work-study aid and loans. Families are urged to bring their most recent tax return documents.

The event is from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 12, in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences computer lab, rooms 211, 212 and 213 of the Academic Health Center (AHC-3) at Modesto A. Maidique Campus.  Free parking will be provided in PG5 Market Station, located across the street from AHC-3.
