STERLING – Families seeking financial aid for college should plan to attend free workshops being offered at various area high schools by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is the form most college-bound seniors are required to complete to be eligible for and receive financial aid of all types.

Those who attend a workshop will receive line-by-line assistance in completing the form, as well as information on their eligibility for federal and state financial aid programs.
