PIQUA — Many students and parents feel anxious about filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). To assist applicants through the process, Edison State Community College will host several FAFSA completion sessions. Current students, prospective students, and community members are invited to attend.

All completion sessions will be available in person and virtually and will be held on the following dates:

• On Feb. 19, at Edison State in Piqua, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

• On March 5, at Edison State in Greenville, from 4 to 7 p.m.

• On March 6, at Edison State in Troy, from 4 to 7 p.m.

• On March 20, at Edison State in Eaton, from 4 to 7 p.m.

An open house will also occur at the Piqua Campus on Feb. 19, from 9 a.m.–noon. The regional location will host a simultaneous open house for the March 5, 6, and 20 events.

During the Open Houses, guests can engage with faculty and staff, explore the programs offered at that specific campus, complete their 2024–2025 FAFSA, and learn more about Edison State, financial aid, scholarship opportunities, and the college’s transfer partners.

The FAFSA is vital to the financial aid process. It allows students to apply for federal and state grants, work-study, and student loans. In addition, most colleges require the FAFSA as part of their scholarship application process.
