 College students and their parents may find assistance completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) forms during FAFSA Day from 9 a.m. to noon on Feb. 23 at Pitt Community College in Greenville.

Register for the event at www.cfnc.org (select the FAFSA Day link). Registration by Feb. 18 is recommended but not required.

The free event is open to all students who plan to attend college in the 2013-14 academic year. Participants should prepare by completing the following:

  • Bring 2012 federal 1040 tax forms for student and parent(s). If 2012 taxes are incomplete when the FAFSA is filled out and the numbers later change, participants may submit corrections using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool.
  • Each student and one parent should obtain a personal identification number from the U.S. Department of Education. The pin can be obtained at www.pin.ed.gov.

FAFSA Day is co-sponsored by East Carolina University, Pitt Community College, the College Foundation of North Carolina, the State Employees’ Credit Union and the North Carolina Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators.
