If you need help filling out your FAFSA, attend the free Casper College federal student aid workshop on Thursday, Oct. 29, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Now is the time for all current Casper College students and those planning to start next year to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
Complete Your Federal Student Aid and FAFSA Forms
The FAFSA is a form managed by the U.S. Department of Education. It determines a student’s eligibility for federal financial aid, including grants, loans, and work-study programs. Completing the form is required to access these funds. Additionally, many states and colleges use FAFSA information to award institutional scholarships and state grants. Because of this, all students and prospective students are encouraged to complete the FAFSA, even those who believe they may not qualify.
“Filling out the FAFSA is one of the most important steps a student can take to obtain financial support for college,” says Missy Roberson, financial aid counselor at Casper College.
Currently, two FAFSA forms are available: the 2026-2027 FAFSA for the current academic year and the 2027-2028 FAFSA for the academic year beginning in fall 2027. Students and prospective students can receive assistance with either application.
In addition, the spring 2027 scholarship application period is open. Financial aid staff will assist students with the spring 2027 scholarship application, and attendees will have the opportunity to enter a raffle for spring semester scholarships.
Some types of aid are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. The earlier a student submits their FAFSA, the better their chances of receiving the aid they qualify for.
The Casper College Financial Aid Office FAFSA completion event will be held in the Walter H. Nolte Gateway Center, Room 210. This free event offers assistance and a chance to potentially secure additional scholarship funds.
To complete the FAFSA form on your own, visit the Federal Student Aid website. When filling out the form, be sure to enter Casper College’s school code: 003928.
For assistance, contact the Casper College Financial Aid Office at 307 268-2323 or visit the enrollment services office on the third floor of the Nolte Gateway Center. The Nolte Gateway Center is located on the Casper College campus.
