Aims Community College is hosting College Goal Sunday on February 8 from 2 to 4 p.m. in Ed Beaty Hall. This event provides free assistance in completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for anyone intending to attend higher education anywhere in the United States. The FAFSA is the first step and a federal requirement for all college students who plan to pay for college with the help of federal grants, scholarships, work-study funds and student loans.

Students should bring their 2008 tax return, or the information needed to complete it. Parents or legal guardians should attend with their dependent children. Students will be entered into a drawing for $1,000 from CollegeInvest. Spanish translators will be available.

This is the third year Colorado will be participating in College Goal Sunday, a program that began in 1989 and is now implemented in more than 30 states. More than 100,000 students are anticipated to attend College Goal Sunday across the country this year.
