(ADAMS) – Financial aid professionals will be at both Ivy Tech Community College Fort Wayne and Kosciusko County’s campuses to offer free assistance to those filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as part of College Goal Sunday on Feb. 22 from 2 to 4 p.m. You do not have to be an Ivy Tech student to participate.
Ivy Tech issued the following:
Volunteers will walk through the form line-by-line and answer questions as needed. Students who attend the event and complete the FAFSA will be eligible to win one of five $1,000 prizes from Indiana College Goal Sunday.
Students should bring:
Personal Documents: Including a Social Security Number, driver’s license number, alien registration number, or permanent residence card.

FSA ID: Apply for an FSA ID at studentaid.gov before the event.
“Getting the FAFSA filed by April 15 is important, especially for our Indiana residents,” says Teresa Vasquez, Director of Financial Aid. “There are so many funding opportunities that could be available just by filing the FAFSA. Come get help from the experts.”
The FAFSA is the required form for federal financial aid and state grant funding, including the 21st Century Scholarship and Frank O’Bannon Grant. It must be filled out every year.
College Goal Sunday is a statewide effort of the Indiana Student Financial Aid Association (ISFAA) to increase the number of high school seniors, adult learners, and returning students who complete the FAFSA by Indiana’s priority deadline, which is Apr. 15, 2026.
