Priority filing date for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is December 1st! Financial Aid professionals and volunteers will be available at the Roundup High School Library on Monday, November 4th, 2019, to help students and families complete this form. Also, Financial Aid professionals from Montana State University-Billings will be on hand 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm to present important information regarding financial aid and educational funding.

Filling out the FAFSA is an important step in the process to securing federal, state, and institutional aid to help pay for school. Every year, students and parents miss out on financial aid simply because they don’t apply.

To get one-on-one assistance completing this important form, go to Roundup High School Library between 5:00 and 7:00 pm. No appointments necessary. You’ll need these items to complete the FAFSA:

• FSA ID – Both students and parents will need FSA IDs, if the student is under the age of 24. Log on to fsaid.ed.gov to get your FSA ID.

• Social security numbers (students and parents).

• 2018 federal tax returns.

• W-2s, tribal income, other aid information (TANF, child support, other benefits).

• Additional asset information (money market funds, stocks, other investments).

The priority FAFSA filing date for Montana schools is December 1st. Students attending schools in other states should contact their school directly regarding priority dates.
