The Arkansas Tech University Office of Financial Aid will offer the community service of a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) assistance workshop for prospective college students on Tuesday, Nov. 1.
The session will take place from 6-8 p.m. in Rothwell Hall room 138 at 106 West O Street in Russellville. Participation will be free and open to the public.

Each year, more than 13 million students who file the FAFSA get more than $120 billion in grants, work-study funds and low-interest loans from the U.S. Department of Education.
The workshop at ATU on Nov. 1 is open to all prospective college students regardless of which institution of higher learning they plan on attending.
Parents and students should each bring, as applicable:

*Identifying information such as Social Security number, date of birth, date of marriage, etc.
*2021 income information such as federal income tax returns, W-2s, 1099s, etc.
