Information from Southeast Missouri State College:
SEMO-Kennett will be offering a FAFSA Day on Monday, December 15th, and a Paying for College Night on Tuesday, January 20th. Both events are open to all students, no matter where they plan to attend college. Our goal is simply to help students and families navigate financial aid and understand their options.
Students who plan to complete the FAFSA will need access to their parent/guardian tax information. While a parent does not have to attend the FAFSA event, it may be helpful if they can attend. Parents are especially encouraged to attend the Paying for College Night, as we will discuss financial aid, scholarships, and planning strategies.
