Filing a FAFSA is the first step in applying for most financial aid for college. At the October 18 event, financial aid professionals from Three Rivers will provide free assistance and answer questions about FAFSA and financial aid.

The event at TRC is part of a statewide effort organized by the Missouri Department of Higher Education and is open to all high school seniors, current college students, and adults interested in attending college.

The 2019-20 FAFSA will be available beginning Oct. 1. Students should fill out a FAFSA every year they plan to attend college. The application determines eligibility for most types of federal and state financial aid, including grants, scholarships, and loans, as well as financial assistance offered by colleges and universities.

FAFSA Frenzy participants should bring:

  • 2017 W-2 forms
  • Copies of their 2017 tax forms
  • Social Security number
  • Student and parent FSA IDs (Students and parents should apply for separate FSA ID user names and passwords at https://fsaid.ed.gov/npas/index.htm before attending a FAFSA Frenzy event.)

“If you are unable to attend the October 18 event but need assistance completing the FAFSA form, feel free to visit us in the Financial Aid office of Three Rivers College, Poplar Bluff, as well as our locations in Sikeston, Kennett, and Dexter,” said Regina Morris, TRC Director of Financial Aid.
