Below is a list of important dates this year with a short description of each. We encourage seniors and parents to attend as many of these programs as possible. For more info on any of them, please call (309) 274-5481 x2.
Off to College Breakfast
Friday, Sept 9th
8:00-9:00 a.m. - Chillicothe Library
This is our 13th year offering an Off to College Breakfast at the Chilli library. The breakfast will cover the application process, some of the ins and outs of college, tips for parents, and more. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) can be
tricky sometimes. This portion of the program is designed to help you navigate the application and make the process much easier. The whole program lasts about 60 minutes.
Financial Aid Night
Wednesday, Sept 14th
6:00 p.m. - IVC Library
A representative from the IL Student Assistance Commission will be at IVC to present a program on financial aid and scholarships. This program is very informative, especially for those parents who are new to the college application process. FAFSA will also be introduced. The counselors will have a shortened presentation of what was covered at the Off to College Breakfast the previous Friday.
FAFSA Workshop (Night of P/T Conferences)
Tuesday, October 25th
4:30-6:30 p.m. - IVC Library
The FAFSA Workshop is designed to give parents and students the opportunity to ask/learn about any part of the FAFSA. A representative from ISAC will be here in an open house type forum to help parents and students. Questions may include things such as:
- How do I fill out the FAFSA?
- What about my specific home situation?
- What happens now that we are done?
- How do we read the Student Aid report?
- What does "EFC" mean?
Anything you are struggling with regarding FAFSA can be answered for free by an expert.
