FAFSA

The College Counselor is available to help parents and students fill out their FAFSAs in group sessions and individual appointments.

In addition, there are several organizations that help students and their parents complete and submit the FAFSA.

The Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce hosts Financial Aid Saturdays in the spring at various high schools around Austin. The Financial Aid Saturdays Program provides FREE assistance to Central Texas high school seniors, prospective/current college students, and parents/guardians needing help to complete federal and state financial aid applications to fund college enrollment. The program is a key element of the Chamber's regional matriculation effort aiming to increase direct-to-college enrollment from 61 percent in 2010 to 70 percent by 2015 to ensure our region is able to meet future talent demands ( http://www.austinchamber.com/education-talent/college-ready-now/financial-aid-saturdays.php).

Foundations Community can also help you complete your FAFSA for FREE! There are several Foundations Community locations around Austin.  Please visit the "Cash for College" webpage for more information: http://www.foundcom.org/get-financially-stable/cash-for-college/.
