The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, underwent some changes this year, but many places offer help for anyone needing to apply.
Northwest Missouri State University Director of Financial Assistance Charles Mayfield said the “FAFSA Frenzy” is a statewide initiative.
“The goal is to allow families to come in and get help, ask questions, we’ll sit down with them at a computer and help them through the process start to finish,” Mayfield said. “We host one of those events on the campus at Northwest in Maryville. To attend that event, it doesn’t matter where the family plans to go to school, we’re just there to help them get the application submitted.”
Participants should bring their 2015 W-2 forms, copies of their 2015 tax forms and student and parent FSA IDs.
FAFSA Frenzy at Northwest takes place at 2 p.m. on Sunday at the B.D. Owens Library on campus.
