Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a vital step in getting help to pay for college.  By attending Financial Aid Frenzy on October 6, students and families can get free, expert help in filling out this important form online at fafsa.gov.

Financial Aid Frenzy will be held from 1-3 pm at the Eastern Wyoming College Douglas Campus located at 800 South Wind River Drive. College-bound students must complete the 2018-2019 FAFSA to qualify for federal financial aid, which includes Pell Grants, Supplemental Grants, and Work-Study, as well as student and parent loans, for the 2018-2019 academic year.
