College-Funding Saturday Helps Students With Financial Aid Application

Posted
Daytona Beach, FL– Many students and parents feel anxious about filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form. Daytona State College’s College-Funding Saturday events at its Daytona Beach and Flagler/Palm Coast campuses on Saturday, Feb. 3, will help ease students’ fear of the FAFSA process, making for a smooth transition from ‘applicant’ to ‘awarded.’ Students applying to any higher education institution are welcome to attend the free events. Participants also can enter a $500 DSC scholarship drawing provided by the DSC Foundation, and refreshments will be available. Experts from DSC’s Financial Aid Services office will be on hand during a four-hour window at both campuses:
