FORT WAYNE – Financial aid professionals will be at both Ivy Tech Community College Fort Wayne and Warsaw’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. 25 from 2 to 4 p.m.
You do not have to be an Ivy Tech student to participate.
Volunteers will walk through the form line-by-line and answer questions as needed. Spanish interpreters will be present at Fort Wayne’s location. 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, which is funded by the Lilly Endowment and InvestEd.
Students should bring:
• Personal Documents: Including a Social Security Number, driver’s license number, alien registration number or permanent residence card.

• FSA ID (optional but encouraged): Apply for an FSA ID at studentaid.gov before the event.
“We want students to take advantage of every opportunity that puts high-quality, affordable education and skills training within their reach,” said Chancellor of Ivy Tech Fort Wayne and Warsaw Dr. Kim Barnett Johnson. “Ivy Tech is proud to participate in College Goal Sunday to help remove any barriers when it comes to accessing financial aid.”
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 April 15, 2024.
