November 18, 2024

The University of Montana Western invites all interested area high school seniors, community members and UMW students to attend a free FAFSA Completion Workshop at the Lucy Carson Library on the Montana Western campus to be held in December and January.

Workshop Dates:

• December 2^nd, 3^rd, and 5^th from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
• December 3^rd and 5^th from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30pm

UMW wants to help everyone, no matter where they are planning to attend college, to successfully complete and submit the FAFSA application which is required for applying for grants, many private scholarships, work study and student loans.

Participants (students and parents) should create and bring their FSA ID to the workshop. To complete an FSA ID, visit https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch. The FSA ID is required to submit the FAFSA and needs to be created online at least three days prior to submitting the FAFSA.

For helpful tips and more information about creating and using the FSA ID, visit https://studentaid.gov/sites/default/files/creating-using-fsaid.pdf.

Computer access will be available for workshop participants, or attendees may bring their own laptops or devices. Participants are also encouraged to bring a copy of their 2023 federal tax return and documents in case they are needed for the tax section of the FAFSA.
