College Goal Maryland will be on-site SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2015, from 11am to 2pm, at Israel Baptist Church, 1220 North Chester Street.

Professional financial aid counselors will be available to help participants compete the FAFSA and answer any questions about financial aid for college, trade school, and other post-secondary education. (The FAFSA is required to receive any federal or state aid, including grants, scholarships, or loans...the priority deadline to complete the FAFSA for the state of Maryland is March 1)
