Family guidance for completing your FAFSA

Coastal Alabama Community College is offering to do a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) completion night.  This program is designed to assist students and parents file a FAFSA in order to be federal aid eligible for 2022-2023.  This is a very important aspect of a student getting ‘ready’ to go to college.  We have set aside the following dates to host FAFSA Night at Coastal Alabama Community College.  Please see below the campus location, date, and time of FAFSA Night:
