Financial Aid Awareness Month

Are you a student in need of money for enrollment fees, books, gas or rent? Sacramento State’s answer is, “We may be able to help you pay for that.”

February is “Financial Aid Awareness Month,” and an opportunity for students to get help completing their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application by the March 2 priority deadline.

“Students can still file the FAFSA application after March 2, but some funds will no longer be available due to demand,” says Craig Yamamoto, director of Financial Aid. “Our goal is to ensure eligible students receive the financial aid that’s out there for them. Our advice is to apply now.”

The workshops are for students who need one-on-one assistance completing their FAFSA applications. These free workshops will be held in Mendocino Hall room 2007 from 6:30 to 9 p.m., Monday, Feb. 16; 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 18; and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 19.

Students should bring their Social Security Card and driver’s license, federal income tax return or W-2’s for 2008, untaxed income records such as veteran’s or Social Security benefits for 2008, bank account and investment records for 2008 and alien registration card if not a U.S. citizen.

Married students should bring copies of their spouse’s information, and dependent students need to bring copies of their parents’ documents.
