Wilson Offers Free Financial Aid Session

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | March 2, 2016

Chambersburg, Pa. — Wilson College will offer free sessions on how to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on Tuesday, March 15, in Wilson’s Brooks Science Complex. The sessions will be held at 5:30 and 7 p.m. and are open to anyone who is interested.

Those attending must register for a session of their choice by calling Wilson’s financial aid office, which will provide instructions on what paperwork and documents to bring to the workshop. The office can be reached at 717-262-2016.

The workshop, for college-bound seniors, their parents and school counselors, provides the opportunity to get personalized help completing the 2016-2017 FAFSA and the chance to ask questions related to the financial aid process. A short presentation will be provided by a representative from the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA). Financial aid staff from Wilson College will also be in attendance to answer questions and assist family members as they complete the FAFSA online.

The FAFSA is used to determine if students qualify for nearly all forms of need-based financial assistance, including the Pennsylvania State Grant; Federal Pell Grant; federal student loans; and many scholarships, work-study programs and school-based awards.

Families should submit the FAFSA as early as possible after Jan. 1 to ensure meeting earlier financial aid deadlines that may be required by selected schools, according to Wilson’s financial aid office.
