June 16, 2026 - Trident Technical College will host a FAFSA Frenzy event on June 23
to provide free, in-person assistance to students, families and community members
completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), a key step in accessing
financial support for higher education.
The event will be held from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the college’s Thornley Campus, Bldg.
300, Rm. 339. It is
open to the public, including current and prospective students.
FAFSA Frenzy is organized by the college’s Educational Opportunity Center and offers
one-on-one
assistance to help participants complete and submit their applications. Staff will
guide attendees
through each step of the process, including creating a FSA ID and ensuring required
information is
submitted correctly.
“The FAFSA can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be,” said Will Amos, director
of the Educational
Opportunity Center at Trident Technical College. “FAFSA Frenzy gives students and
families the
opportunity to sit down with experienced staff who can walk them through the process
and make sure
they leave with a completed application.”
Participants are encouraged to bring the following documentation that is required
to complete the
FAFSA, including:
- FSA ID credentials
- Social Security number and date of birth
- 2024 federal tax returns (for students and, if applicable, parents or spouses)
- Email account access information
Dependent students are encouraged to attend with a parent or have a parent available
by phone, as both
student and parent information may be required.
The FAFSA determines eligibility for federal financial aid programs, including grants,
work-study
opportunities and student loans.
