Every student should take advantage of all the help available to them and that includes filling out a FAFSA. FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The deadline for West Virginia is March 1st. Any student wanting money to help pay for college needs to fill out the FAFSA. It’s free and you don’t have to pay back the money. Even if you don’t get a ton of money or even a reasonable amount, every little bit helps. If you need help filling out your FAFSA, West Virginia University holds sessions at the Mountainlair, where they have people help you fill out the FAFSA if needed or simply just advice. Most of the students who go to these sessions are filling their FAFSAs out for the first time; however there is another reason to go to them. If you watch TV or listen to the radio, this time of year always features a large amount of commercials for tax companies. Most of these companies promise to provide experts that will aid you in achieving your maximum amount of money back in your refunds. Much like these tax experts, the people available at the Mountainlair during these sessions can help make sure you receive every bit of financial help you can get. So even if you have filled out your FAFSAs by yourself in the past, it could prove financially wise to ask for help anyways. You can access the here. Or the web address is http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/#. If you choose not to seek help in filling out your FAFSA, the website itself offers advice and tips as you go through the process and offers assistance and help should you have any questions.
I just came across this website and thought that you'd be interested. It's obviously a day or two late by now, but still worth noting for your research on this subject: http://www.collegegoalsundayusa.org/
