press release: 10/6/2021

The Scholarship Fund of Concord and Carlisle would like to remind all high school seniors or in-college students living or educated in Concord or Carlisle who will be applying for scholarships for the 2022-2023 academic year that they need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to apply.  In addition, this form must be completed to apply for any federal, state, or institutional financial aid.

 FAFSA Day Massachusetts provides FREE help statewide to students and families looking to complete the FAFSA. FAFSA Day Massachusetts programs are being held virtually on multiple dates.  The services are available to anyone attending college for the 2022-2023 academic year; low-income, first-generation students are especially encouraged to attend. 

FAFSA Day is staffed by both Massachusetts Association of Student Financial Administration professionals, and by volunteer financial aid and higher education experts who can provide families one-on-one assistance. 

FAFSA Day is a non-profit program sponsored by Massachusetts Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, MEFA, American Student Assistance, and the Massachusetts Office of Student Financial Assistance. Over 23,000 students have been served during FAFSA Day events thus far.

Families are encouraged to visit www.masfaa.org/fafsaday/ to view dates and times, to register, and to see a check list for preparation.  For questions or additional information, please call 800-449-6332 or e-mail fafsaday@gmail.com.
