College Goal Sunday
October 4, 2026 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
If your student will be completing the 2027-28 FAFSA this year, join us for College Goal Sunday on October 4!
College Goal Sunday programs provide assistance to students in filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA form is required for students to be considered for federal and state grants, scholarships and federal loans at most colleges, universities and vocational/technical schools nationwide.
As part of Indiana’s largest FAFSA filing event, financial aid experts will be available on our Hammond and Westville campuses from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. to help your student submit their FAFSA.
Financial aid professionals and Spanish interpreters will be available at both locations to answer questions and help students complete and file their forms.
How to Make the Most of College Goal Sunday
- Invite a parent or guardian to attend if you are 23 or younger
- Bring you or your family’s 2025 tax return or W-2 form or forms
- Create your FAFSA ID before you arrive
