FAFSA Day at RCC is Feb. 13

ASHEBORO — Randolph Community College will participate in FAFSA Day on Feb. 13, in which college financial aid officers and other volunteers will help students complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) forms over the Internet.

The program is open to students who plan to attend college in the 2010-11 academic year and will be held at over 100 locations across North Carolina. RCC's event will be held from 9 a.m. to noon in the M.H. Branson Business Education Center on the Asheboro Campus. The event is free and students should register for FAFSA Day prior to Feb. 12 by going to www.CFNC.org/fafsaday. On the Web site, click on Randolph County on the North Carolina map to register for RCC's event.

Participants should bring their completed 2009 federal 1040 tax forms and each student and one parent should obtain a FAFSA Personal Identification Number (PIN) prior to FAFSA Day from the U.S. Department of Education at www.pin.ed.gov.

It will be helpful (though not required) for you to complete as much of the FAFSA on the Web worksheet as possible and bring it with you on FAFSA Day. Don't worry if you don't know all the answers; the experienced financial aid officers will help you. The FAFSA on the Web worksheet for 2010-11 is available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov/fafsaws01c.pdf.

The Business Education Center is located just behind the Computer Technology Center.
