The intent of this program is to help connect children with nature and public lands, as someday these places will be theirs to protect and care for.

Is your student needing assistance with their FAFSA? Financial aid experts will volunteer at locations throughout Alaska to help college-bound students and their families open the door to financial aid during College Goal Alaska. The free program assists Alaska students in filing the online Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is required for students to be considered for federal and state grants, scholarships, and student loans at most colleges and vocational/technical schools nationwide.
Rebekah Matrosova, Director of Outreach for the Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education (ACPE), notes that changes this year will allow students to apply earlier and use income information from the previous year’s tax return and use the data-retrieval tool to easily transfer IRS data.
Most students should attend CGA with their parents, and bring their and their parents’ social security number, driver’s license, or alien registration card, 2015 tax information, and 2015 untaxed income records. Students who are married, or at least 24 years old, do not need to provide parental information. Prior to attending a CGA event, students can go to fsaid.ed.gov and apply for a Federal Student Aid ID. Students and their parents need an FSAID to electronically sign the FAFSA. For CGA dates and times visit www.collegegoalak.org. College Goal Alaska is coordinated by ACPE, the state’s higher education agency, and facilitated by volunteers from Alaska’s postsecondary institutions, schools, and other organizations.
