Families receive professional assistance from Tusculum College staff members with filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) during College Goal Sunday.
Held Sunday, Feb. 10, in the Annie Hogan Byrd Fine Arts Building, this event provided 56 students from Northeast Tennessee and their families an opportunity to receive practical, hands-on help in filling out the form that is a prerequisite for receiving financial aid at any college and university as well information about financial aid resources and how to apply for them.
College Goal Sunday is a non-profit program that mobilizes financial aid professionals from Tennessee institutions of higher education to help college-bound students and their families to complete the federal form, which can then filed electronically on-line.
College Goal Sunday is supported and administered by a joint partnership between the Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation, Tennessee Higher Education Commission, and volunteers comprised of members of the Tennessee Association of Financial Aid Administrators, as well as members of Tennessee Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, and the Tennessee Association of Special Programs-TRIO.
