Free Financial Aid Assistance Offered During Super FAFSA Week

The Virginia Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (VASFAA), in conjunction with Prince Edward County High School, will host a Super FAFSA Week event on February 1, 2014, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Prince Edward County High School 35 Eagle Drive Farmville, Va. The  “snow date” is February 8, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Super FAFSA Week, formerly known as Super Saturday, is one of VASFAA’s annual service projects where individuals seeking funding for postsecondary education receive free, professional assistance in completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is the form used by colleges, universities, and career-technical schools across the country to determine eligibility for student federal and most state financial aid.

Participating sites will have computers available for students and parents to apply for federal aid electronically, along with financial aid representatives to assist.  This event is open to students and parents of all grade levels, including returning college students, as well as older adults interested in furthering their education.

As an incentive for attending a Super FAFSA Week event, students will have a chance to win a $100 book scholarship. A book scholarship will be awarded to one student at each Super FAFSA Week site to be used at the winner’s college of choice during the 2014-15 academic year.  A light breakfast will also be served.

Super FAFSA Week is open to the public, sponsored by VASFAA, and is partly funded by the College Access Challenge Grant Program.
