Cash for College Workshop

Description

Current and future college students, as well as their parents, are invited to the Foothill College Cash for College workshop Wednesday, Feb. 10, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in Building 8100 at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills. Admission is free; parking is $3.

This annual event provides one-stop service to complete financial aid applications. Financial aid professionals will provide line-by-line assistance to complete the AB540/Dream Application and Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The event is ideal for high school and college students who currently attend or plan to attend a California community college, CSU campus, UC campus, private university or vocational/technical school.

“Determining how you and your family will pay for college can be a stressful experience. Foothill’s friendly financial aid experts will help both you and your family prepare your financial aid materials so that you are considered for every type of financial aid that you are eligible for,” says Foothill College Financial Aid Outreach Coordinator Sarah Corrao. “We understand that application forms can be daunting, so we will walk you through the entire process line by line, and answer all of your financial aid-related questions. In just a few hours, we’ll help you complete your application and explain what you can expect after submitting the FAFSA and other financial aid-related materials. You’ll be confident in knowing that you have completed the important steps that will make college more affordable for you and your family.”

‪In addition to the line-by-line explanation, the workshop will feature free, professional assistance to students and families completing grade-point average verification forms that are required for Cal Grants and other types of financial aid.

Students who file individual or joint tax returns should bring their personal income and asset information. Students who are claimed as dependents on a parent's income tax should bring the parent's income and asset information, including 2015 federal income tax returns if already prepared; records of other untaxed income such as welfare benefits, Social Security benefits, TANF, veteran's benefits, or military or clergy allowances; and W-2 Forms or other records such as check stubs of income earned in 2015. Parents of dependent students are encouraged to attend the Cash for College workshop with their student.

Parking lot 8 provides best access to Building 8100. Admission is free; parking is $3. Purchase a required parking permit from dispensers in any student parking lot. Dispensers accept dollar bills, and credit and debit cards.
