College to Host FAFSA® Day
RALEIGH, N.C. (January 23, 2024) – Need help paying for college? The first step is to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®), and Wake Tech is here to help!
The college is hosting FAFSA® Day on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on the Scott Northern Wake Campus in Building C and Southern Wake Campus in Building L.
Students seeking federal financial aid must complete a FAFSA® each academic year. The process is free, and the information provided can qualify students for federal and state aid in addition to other, non-federal grant programs.
On FAFSA® Day, students can receive assistance from Financial Aid staff, submit their FAFSA® documents and get answers to general financial aid questions. The 2024-25 FAFSA® includes numerous changes and enhancements to streamline the application process, reduce questions and barriers and expand eligibility.
Students are encouraged to register for FAFSA® Day in advance so that Financial Aid staff will be better prepared to assist. They are also encouraged to complete their Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID) prior to FAFSA® Day. The student and spouse or parent(s) should bring their 2022 federal tax returns and W-2's.
Ann Guevremont, Wake Tech's dean of Financial Aid, says all students should complete a FAFSA®.
"Eligible students leave free money on the table every year. So, why not?" says Guevremont. "Complete the FAFSA® and discover potential eligibility for various opportunities. You never know what you might qualify for!"
