Columbia State Community College is offering free on-site assistance to help students and families fill out the 2017-2018 Free Application for Federal Student Aid during the “FAFSA Frenzy” event.
Financial aid professionals and other enrollment services staff will be available at branch campuses, including the Williamson County campus, to assist students and families with completing the 2017-2018 FAFSA online prior to the Tennessee Student Assistance Award and Tennessee Promise deadlines. Applying early increases opportunities to receive state funds.

Representatives will be available from 2 – 5 p.m. on Oct. 13 at the Williamson Campus, 1228 Liberty Pike, Franklin, in the Administration Building, Room 207.
The one-day events will help current and prospective college students, as well as parents and guardians, take the first step in applying for financial aid by helping them complete the federally required form for students who seek financial assistance, including grants, scholarships and loans.
