The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff will serve as a site for College Goal Sunday. The statewide volunteer program provides free information and assistance to students and families who are applying for financial aid for college.
UAPB’s event will be held in Henderson-Young Hall rooms 204 and 209 Feb. 19 beginning at 2 p.m.
Participants should be prepared to get assistance completing the 2012-13 FAFSA. The following is a list of items that are needed to get started with the application process and should be brought to the site if they are available: 2011 Federal Income Tax Returns for parent(s) and student, 2011 W-2 Forms, Social Security numbers, amounts of untaxed income received in 2011, amounts for child support received or child support paid in 2011, information about amounts in checking and or savings accounts and other family assets (other than the residence home.)
The PIN (personal identification number) for the student and at least one parent will be needed. The student and one parent must apply for a PIN at www.pin.ed.gov. In order to receive the PIN by February 19, an application must be made no later than Feb. 12.
College Goal Sunday is co-sponsored by the Arkansas Association of Financial Aid Administrators and the Arkansas Department of Higher Education.
