Program offers to help with FAFSA

Local high school seniors will have an opportunity this Sunday to receive help applying for federal financial aid for college.

A statewide initiative through the Missouri Association of Student Financial Aid Personnel has resulted in the first annual Missouri College Goal from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday.

The local session will be held in Dempster Hall on the campus of Southeast Missouri State University.

The program is designed to give students and parents hands-on assistance in completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2004-05 school year.
