The “FAFSA Frenzy” program for Greeneville High School has been rescheduled for Thursday, Feb. 5.
The “FAFSA Frenzy” program at Greeneville High is one of the several sessions that have been offered by Tusculum College at local high schools as well as its campus sites in Kingsport, Knoxville and Morristown to help families find answers to their questions about the financial aid process and fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) forms that are required as a first step in the process to receive financial aid, including the Tennessee Promise program.
The session at Greeneville High will be from 5 to 7 p.m., and will have a “drop in” format. Students and their families are welcome to come by anytime during the scheduled period to receive assistance.
Professionals from Tusculum College’s Financial Aid staff will provide their expert assistance at the “FAFSA Frenzy” events as a community service. The events are open to all high school students, not only those who may be interested in attending Tusculum.
Students and parents are asked to bring their 2014 tax returns if available to the event. If the 2014 tax return is not available, students and parents should bring their year-end paystubs, w-2 forms, and their 2013 federal income tax return.
FAFSA forms are used to determine eligibility for federal and state funds such as Pell grants, Stafford loans, PLUS loans, work-study programs and the Tennessee Promise program, and must be completed each academic year for which a student wishes to seek aid.
