Financial Aid Information Session @ Your Lbrary

Finding Financial Aid for College @ Your Library
Tues, Feb 9, 6-7:30 pm, Harnett Room, Main Library

Are you stressing over filling out that intimidating FAFSA form to apply for financial aid for college? Confused about how it all works? Come hear April Morey with College Foundation of North Carolina explain the process. High school students and their parents are encouraged to bring their questions to this free information session.

College Foundation of North Carolina (CFNC) is a free service of the State of North Carolina that helps students plan, apply, and pay for college. CFNC is a partnership of Pathways, the N.C. State Education Assistance Authority, and College Foundation, Inc. You can trust them to give you solid information and not hit you with hidden fees!

At www.cfnc.org students can apply online to North Carolina colleges, submit their transcripts electronically, complete the FAFSA form, search for scholarships, prepare for tests like the SAT and the ACT, explore careers, and much more. By creating an account at www.cfnc.org students can track their academic careers and keep all the information they'll need about their accomplishments for all their applications in one safe place.
