College Goal Sunday

On Saturday, February 20, Fort Lewis College will host College Goal Sunday. Ok--Make that College Goal Saturday, but the event is part of a national program called College Goal Sunday.

We encourage you to visit with us on February 20 to navigate the anxiety-producing world of paying for college. College Goal Sunday is an opportunity for students and parents to get free help in filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is the first step and a Federal requirement for all college students who plan to pay for college with the help of: grants, scholarships, work Study Funds, and student loans. Prospective students and their families can talk to Financial Aid professionals and get one-on-one assistance from the Fort Lewis College Office of Financial Aid.

In case you are curious, Fort Lewis is hosting this year's College Goal Sunday on a Saturday because we also will host a Skyhawk Saturday for Prospective Students on the same day (February 20). This will provide two key reasons for prospective students and their families to visit with us on February 20. Come learn about FLC, and also discover your options to pay for college.

We look forward to seeing you on February 20.
