College Goal Sunday is a free program that helps students and families fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the form that is required to apply for financial assistance for higher education.
Each year, financial aid professionals volunteer their time to help families complete the FAFSA. This year, College Goal Sunday was held on January 27.
