Get Free Financial Aid Help!


September 30, 2019 | Campus News

Getting financial aid for college can be stressful for many people. What forms do I fill out? What scholarships and grants am I eligible for? When are the deadlines?

East Central College wants to make the process easier! We will be holding a series of workshops to help students fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA.

FAFSA Nights will be held at the Union campus and Rolla Main location from 5:00 – 6:30 p.m. on the following dates:

  • Tuesday, October 1
  • Thursday, October 17
  • Tuesday, October 29
  • Thursday, November 14
  • Tuesday, November 26

Students are able to file the FAFSA as early as October 1 for the 2020-2021 school year. The workshops are open to all students – not just those planning to go to East Central College.

What should I bring?

  • Social Security Number
  • Driver’s License
  • W-2 Forms
  • 2018 Federal Income Tax Return
  • Your Parent’s Federal Income Tax Return (if applicable)
  • Veterans Non-Education Benefit Records
  • Child Support Received and/or Paid
  • Worker’s Compensation
  • Current Business and Investment Information
  • Alien Registration or Permanent Resident Card

The FAFSA priority deadline for Fall 2020 is July 1, 2020. In regards to scholarships, East Central College’s priority scholarship deadline is December 1, 2019. However, East Central College Financial Aid encourages students to complete the process sooner than later!
