NICC Waukon Center to offer FAFSA assistance

Northeast Iowa Community College (NICC) Waukon Center is offering assistance in filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Thursday, October 6 from 3:30-8 p.m. at the NICC Waukon Center, located at 1220 Third Avenue NW.

The NICC Waukon Center will be offering 30-minute appointment sessions to assist students with their FAFSA application during that timeframe. To register for an appointment, call the NICC Waukon Center at 563-568-3060.

The first step in receiving student aid for college is filling out the FAFSA. Anyone needing help to pay for college will want to do this as soon as possible. For the 2017-18 school year, the FAFSA can now be completed as early as October 1, 2016 using 2015 tax information. It is advised to not wait to complete the application, as some of the most beneficial financial aid funds are first come, first served.
