Financial Aid Application Workshop

Staff from the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) will help participants understand the financial aid application process. Students and parents are welcome, and laptops will be provided.

During this workshop, students will be able to have questions answered to complete either the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid (Alternative Application), intended for qualifying undocumented students. These are the forms used to apply for financial aid, such as the Federal Pell Grant and/or the Illinois Monetary Award Program (MAP). Many colleges also use these forms to consider students for institutional money.

*Participants should create an FSA ID prior to the workshop to expedite the submission of the FAFSA. The FSA ID is also used to retrieve their tax and income information via the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. (Please note that the FSA ID is not used with the Alternative Application.) Individuals should have readily available information regarding their income and asset information.
