FVCC hosts College Goal Sunday

The Daily Inter Lake

On Sunday, Flathead Valley Community College hosts its fifth annual College Goal Sunday, a program that helps students apply for financial aid for college.

Free and open to all higher-education-bound students and their families, College Goal Sunday guides students and their families through the paperwork for financial assistance.

Financial aid officers and other qualified professionals attend to help students understand and complete the necessary paperwork.

The event takes place in the Business and Social Sciences Building on the college's Kalispell campus Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m. Appointments are not required.

Students and their families need to bring with them Social Security numbers, 2008 federal income tax returns (or 2007 federal income tax returns if 2008 returns are not completed), W-2 forms, tribal income or other aid information, information on child support or other benefits, and additional asset information including money market funds, stocks and other investments.

Students attending the event may enter to win a $500 scholarship that may be used at any accredited college or program in the nation.
