FAFSA REMINDER
The FAFSA application for the Class of 2021 opened on Thursday October 1, 2020. Students and parents must create a FSA ID before starting the application. If a parent already has an FSA ID because of older sibling(s) they should use that ID. An FSA ID allows electronic signing of the FAFSA. The link for FAFSA is in the Financial and Scholorship section in the left column of the webpage. At this time, no in person FAFSA workshops are scheduled due to Covid. In place of an in person meeting, Columbia College was able to provide for us a FINANCIAL AID Video for the Fall 2020 start of the FAFSA season.
