Madisonville Community College will be hosting College Goal Kentucky the week of January 26-30 to help families applying for college financial aid. MCC s financial aid professionals will assist students and families complete the 2015-2016 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is the form students must submit to receive federal and state student aid.

MCC financial aid staff will be available to assist with FAFSA completion from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. in the Financial Aid Office located on the 3rd floor of the John H. Gray Building on the college s North Campus (2000 College Drive, Madisonville).

Students are encouraged to attend College Goal Kentucky with a parent or guardian. They should bring their and their parent s completed 2014 IRS 1040 tax returns and any other 2014 income and benefit information. If families have not completed their taxes, they are encouraged to bring their 2013 IRS 1040 tax forms and last paycheck stubs from 2014 so that financial aid staff will be able to show families how to use estimated information to submit the FAFSA and how to go back and update their information once taxes are completed. Everything else pens, pencils, and FAFSA worksheets will be provided.

All attendees will be eligible to enter into a drawing for a chance to win one of four $500 scholarships that can be used at any Kentucky school.
