FAFSA Fridays are a free service that UA Cossatot’s Financial Aid department provides to help UA Cossatot students complete the FAFSA. The college will be hosting FAFSA Fridays on five Fridays this fall semester at the UA Cossatot Ashdown, Nashville, and De Queen Campus.
FAFSA Fridays will take place on October 18, October 25, November 8, November 22, and December 13. Appointments must be made to meet with a Financial Aid Specialist. FAFSA Fridays will begin at 9:00 A.M. and end at 1:00 P.M.
FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The FAFSA for the 2020-2021 academic year became available on October 1, 2019. FAFSA Friday events allow current and future students the opportunity to complete the FAFSA with assistance from a UA Cossatot Financial Aid Specialist.
