VSAC offers workshops on filling out college financial aid forms

Vermont Student Assistance Corp. offers free workshops to help families fill out college financial aid forms at local high schools in January.

These informal workshops offer guidance on filling out the free application for federal student aid and Vermont grant forms. Students and parents may also ask questions about the college financial aid process and scholarships.

Internet access will be available and space is limited. Participants should bring copies of 2012 taxes, 2013 final check stubs, W-2s, bank statements, and any other pertinent financial information. All documentation will be confidential and used solely to fill out individual forms.
