College Goal Sunday is a nationwide program that provides information and assistance to Maine students and their families applying for financial aid for higher education. College financial aid officers and other qualified professionals volunteer their time to help college-bound students complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is the required federal financial aid form.
Maine's 8th Annual College Goal Sunday will be held on January 30, 2011. Locations will be announced later this fall.
Students and families who need help completing the FAFSA form for the upcoming academic year.
Students and their parents should bring their most recent tax information, such as completed IRS 1040 tax returns, W-2 statements and other income and benefits information.
College Goal Sunday is administered by the Finance Authority of Maine (FAME). Anyone interested in learning more about College Goal Sunday can contact us at 1-800-228-3734 or by E-mail.
