(WAUSAU, Wis.) – Northcentral Technical College (NTC) will host a College Goal Wisconsin event on Monday, November 3, at 6 p.m. at the Wausau campus. This free event is open to students and families who need assistance completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) - the federally required form for those seeking financial aid, including grants and loans.

Completing the FAFSA is the first and most important step in qualifying for financial aid, and College Goal Wisconsin provides hands-on support to help families through the process.

The event will begin with a short presentation featuring tips for successfully completing the FAFSA. Afterward, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and receive one on one assistance from trained volunteers.

Every student who attends a College Goal event AND completes the online student survey afterwards will be entered into a drawing to win one of 15 available $1,000 scholarships.
