Financial Aid Workshop, "College Goal Sunday" a Success


On Wednesday, Clover Park Technical College's Lisa Fortson, Financial Aid Assistant Director, and Wendy Joseph, Financial Aid Director, attended, "College Goal Sunday," at Mount Tahoma High School in the Tacoma School District.

At the event, they helped high school seniors and their parents complete the 2012-13 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

The two hour event was very well attended and it gave Lisa and Wendy a chance to speak to prospective students about the programs at Clover Park Technical College.

Every year, various educational institutions around Washington State hold the, "College Goal Sunday" event on their campuses.  It brings students, parents, the College Success Foundation, NELA Center for Student Success, and financial aid professionals from higher education institutions together to assist in the completion of the FAFSA for the upcoming academic year.

The FAFSA application is controlled by the Office of Federal Student Aid, an office of the U.S. Department of Education. The Federal Office ensures that all eligible individuals can benefit from federally funded financial assistance for education beyond high school.
