Owensboro, KY (04/15/2021) — Owensboro Community & Technical College's Financial Aid office is hosting a FAFSA Fiesta on Thursday, April 22 from 5-7:30 p.m. Interested students should bring their social security card, their 2019 tax information, and their parent/guardian tax information if a dependent.
Rebecca Simon, OCTC's financial aid director added, "Statewide the number of FAFSA applications has declined so we want to be proactive and try and help anyone that is interested complete the process. This is the first step in making sure you maximize all your options in getting assistance for your education. Most schools require a FAFSA to be on file before you are eligible considered for institutional scholarships."
Staff will be on hand to help answer questions and get students and families through the process, which should only take about 20 minutes to complete. Those who complete the process Thursday evening will receive a $25 gift card as an inventive. You can reserve a spot at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C4AAEA623A2F5CE9-fafsa.
