FAFSA Filing Info Night: Jan. 24

Join INvestED at BCHS for help with the new FAFSA form! The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is an important form to receive both federal and institutional aid for college. The FAFSA is new this year, so even if you have completed it before, it will be different.

  • The FAFSA is REQUIRED for all Indiana seniors and must be completed by April 15, 2024, at the latest.
  • Some colleges have earlier deadlines so they can award financial aid sooner.
  • The application will be opening in December/late December 2023.

The meeting will be held on Wed., Jan. 24, 2024 from 6-8 p.m. in the BCHS cafeteria.

Both the student and “contributor(s)” will need to create a FSA ID at least 5 days prior to this event! Be sure your email and SSN are correct the first time to prevent the hassle of recovering your account.

Further Details for the meeting

  • Have your FSA ID setup for both student and contributor at least 5 days before the meeting
  • Bring a device for you to work on (recommended). An iPad is fine.
  • Consult the checklist (link above) for items you’ll need to file the FAFSA.
  • For the Class of 2024, you’ll use tax year data from 2022.

INvestED is a great resource to help answer any and all questions about paying for college. They’ve helped thousands of Hoosier families with free, expert advice.
We have brochures from the organization that were distributed during the October BCHS College Financial Aid night with further information. Please contact Abbey Saurine, BCHS Counselor, at asaurine@bishopchatard.org to have one sent home with your student.
