College Goal Sunday coming to EHS Campus~ January 25th

Spread the WORD- Help Students Get Cash For College
Here's the scoop: In one day, you can learn how to get money for college. Show up to a College Goal Sunday event and get expert help filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the form that's required for getting financial assistance in college. These free sessions take place at multiple locations, dates and times across the state of Washington. Decide WHERE you'll get help.

What to Bring: Bring along a parent, your Social Security Number and drivers license (if you have one). If possible, bring your, or your parents recent income tax returns and other financial records. If you don't have paperwork, we can still help you complete part of the FAFSA. Even if you're not sure about going to college, attend College Goal Sunday. Pre-register, or just show up.
