FAFSA FEST
FAFSA Fest is an annual series of free events that brings local volunteers to locations around the city to help students and families complete their FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) online, answer financial aid questions, and provide individual counseling for understanding college costs. Food and refreshments will be provided. Volunteers include financial aid counselors from local colleges. All students are welcome! Assistance for special circumstances will be available.
We encourage college-bound 12th graders to attend a FAFSA event with their parents/legal guardians. Families will receive free wrap-around assistance with the Free Application for Student Aid with the support of trained FAFSA volunteers.
If you are unable to attend one of our scheduled events and you still need assistance, please contact us at FAFSA@rochestereducation.org.
FAFSA (The Free Application for Federal Student Aid) helps determine your eligibility for financial aid, including grants, loans, and work-study programs. Fill it out annually to maximize your financial support for college. Get Help Completing Your FAFSA!
