FAFSA workshop for parents of college-bound seniors

Academic counselors from Shepard High School and a representative from the Illinois Student Assistance Commission will host a workshop on February 29 from 4 to 7 p.m. to help parents file their Free Application for Federal Student Aid electronically. 

They’ll also discuss strategies for securing the most money for college.  Prior to attending the workshop, counselors encourage parents to complete their 2011 income tax return.  Parents cannot submit a FAFSA until after they have filed an income tax return. 

Counselors will host the workshop, which is free, in the computer lab located in the Learning Resource Center.
