CFCC to Host FAFSA Completion Support Event on January 29

Wilmington, NC (January 22, 2026) – Current and prospective students are invited to attend a FAFSA completion support event to get help paying for college. The event will take place on Thursday, January 29, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m., at CFCC’s North Campus, located at 4500 Blue Clay Road in Castle Hayne, in the NA Building, room 304.

The FAFSA is a free online form used to apply for financial aid, including grants, scholarships, work-study, and student loans to help pay for college. Trained financial aid staff will be on hand to guide participants through the form step-by-step.

To make the most of the event, students and parents are strongly encouraged to visit studentaid.gov and create an FSA ID at least 72 hours before the event. Both the student and a parent will need their own FSA ID so financial aid staff can help walk them through the process during the session. Dependent students require their parents’ information. A student is considered a dependent if they are under 24, unless they are married, have children, or are in the military.

Financial aid representatives from CFCC, the University of North Carolina Wilmington, and College Foundation of North Carolina will be on site to answer questions, provide resources, and help students complete the FAFSA correctly.
