Staff from Jacksonville University, the University of North Florida or Florida Community College at Jacksonville are giving the advice. The workshops are free and open to the public.
Some colleges require separate forms besides the standard government form.
Apply as early as possible. Some institutions run out of financial aid. Males must have registered with Selective Service. Make sure you have listed schools correctly, used the same name as on your Social Security card and double-checked everything. A mistake may bounce the report back, thus losing your place in the financial-aid line.
