FAFSA Fridays

Illinois Eastern Community College is excited to announce FAFSA Fridays in August. Every Friday during the month, students may visit the Financial Aid Office at Frontier Community College, Lincoln Trail College, Olney Central College, or Wabash Valley College to receive assistance filling out their FAFSA.
 
The 2024-2025 FAFSA process has been even more challenging with the FAFSA Simplification Act, and these days are designed to make the process a little bit easier.
 
“We want to help eliminate the challenges and barriers our students may be facing,” said Program Director of Financial Aid Krystle Riggle.
 
Any student who completes their FAFSA in the month of August, not just on Fridays, will receive incentives and their name will be entered into a drawing for one of two laptops being raffled off at the end of the month.
 
Students are encouraged to complete their FAFSA as soon as possible, and attending a FAFSA Friday can make the process even easier.
 
“By completing your FAFSA, you could be eligible for Pell, Map, or SEOG. This could be used to pay for your books, tuition, fees, as well as keeping you from paying as much out of pocket,” said Coordinator of Financial Aid Justn Young.
 
IECC Financial Aid Offices are open Monday-Friday 7:30 to 4:30 to help with all financial aid needs. Contact the Financial Aid Office as soon as possible, and don’t miss out on free money to help you achieve your academic goals at IECC.
