College Goal Wisconsin: Provides Free Aid Information & Assistance
Students need help navigating the financial aid application process. If a student is unfamiliar with the process or doesn't ask for assistance when they need it, they may miss out on receiving aid. Financial aid offices on college campuses throughout the state offer great expertise and are willing to help. In addition, there is College Goal Wisconsin (CGW) held on Saturday, February 13, 20, and 27 at 10am and on Wednesday evenings on February 10, 17, and 24. The evenings start at 6pm.
CGW will have 33 locations set up statewide to help with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form for students seeking financial aid. This is the form that all colleges/universities require to be considered for federal and state financial aid, which includes grants, loans, work study, and scholarships. Students and parents will receive free assistance in filling out the FAFSA on the day they choose to attend.
Students should attend with a parent or guardian, if possible. If students and parents have the necessary paper with them, they can actually complete the FAFSA that day and submit it. A list of materials to bring can be found on the CGW website. If parents are unable to attend, students may still attend alone.
Each of the 33 locations will draw for a scholarship winner. Up to $30,000 in scholarships will be given away. A list of locations and other valuable information can be found at
