Filling out the necessary financial forms for college can be challenging, and sessions are planned in January to provide assistance to high school students and their parents with this important step in preparing for higher education.<\/p>\n

A series of \u201cFAFSA Frenzy\u201d programs have been scheduled by Tusculum College to help families find answers to their questions about the financial aid process as well as receive assistance with completing 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. Sessions are scheduled at each of the local high schools in Greene County.<\/p>\n

Professionals from Tusculum College\u2019s Financial Aid staff will provide their professional assistance at each of these \u201cFAFSA Frenzy\u201d events as a community service. The events are open to all high school students, not only those who may be interested in attending Tusculum.<\/p>\n

The FAFSA Frenzy events are scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 13, at South Greene High School from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m.; Thursday, Jan. 15, at Chuckey-Doak High School from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m.; Tuesday, Jan. 20, at West Greene High School from 3:30 to 6 p.m.; Thursday, Jan. 22, at North Greene High School from 4 to 6 p.m., and Monday, Jan. 27 at Greeneville High School from 5 to 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

The events will have a \u201cdrop in\u201d format, and students and their families are welcome to come by anytime during the scheduled period to receive assistance. In case of school closures due to inclement weather on any of these days, the events will be rescheduled.<\/p>\n

\u201cFilling out the FAFSA and other financial forms can be puzzling to students and parents who are not familiar with the process, and we are pleased to be able to offer our assistance to these families,\u201d said Melissa Ripley, executive director of enrollment management operations and residential admission at the college. \u201cTusculum College is pleased to provide this service to our community and share our expertise with students and their parents as they prepare for this important step in their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students and parents are asked to bring their 2014 tax returns if available to the event.\u00a0 If the 2014 tax return is not available, students and parents should bring their year-end paystubs, w-2 forms, and the 2013 federal income tax return.<\/p>\n

FAFSA forms are used to determine eligibility for federal and state funds such as Pell grants<\/a>, Stafford loans<\/a>, PLUS loans<\/a> work-study<\/a> programs and the Tennessee Promise program, and must be completed each academic year for which a student wishes to seek aid.<\/p>\n

Students and parents are encouraged to apply for financial aid as soon as possible. The deadline for the Tennessee Student Assistance Award is Feb. 1 for 2015. Tusculum\u2019s Financial Aid Office recommends that students apply as quickly as possible to assure that their applications will be considered for aid types that typically become limited or exhausted long before school begins in August.<\/p>\n
