Ohlone Cash for College Workshops
for High School Students and Parents

Ohlone College is partnering with local high schools and the California Student Aid Commission to present Financial Aid Cash For College workshops. These workshops are open for High School Students and Parents to learn about completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and what financial aid resources are available.

These workshops are FREE and one senior from each workshop could receive a $1,000 scholarship.

When/Where:

• January 12, 2010 Tuesday, 6:00pm - 8:00pm, Newark Memorial High School

Apply for PIN: Before attending the workshop, students and parents should apply for a FAFSA Personal Identification Number (PIN). To apply for a PIN, log onto http://www.pin.ed.gov. Allow 1 hour to receive the PIN via email. The PIN is used as the electronic signature and should be brought to the workshop to file the FAFSA.

What to bring:

• Social Security Card and Driver’s License or State ID
• 2007 Federal Income Tax Return and W2 forms for both student and parents
• 2007 bank statements and investment records
