Culver-Stockton College to offer free FAFSA filing assistance Dec. 4, Jan. 22

CANTON, Mo. — The Culver-Stockton College (C-SC) Financial Aid Office is offering free workshops to assist current students, prospective students, and the general public in filing the 2025-26 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on Wednesday, Dec. 4, and Wednesday, Jan. 22, from 4 to 7 p.m. in the C-SC Financial Aid Office in Henderson Hall, room 102.

These workshops are open to anyone navigating the financial aid process for the 2025-26 academic year. Culver-Stockton’s Financial Aid Team will offer one-on-one consultations and answer questions.

Students are asked to bring:

• 2023 taxes and W-2 forms
• Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID, username, and password
• Current balance of cash, savings, and checking
• Net worth of investments
• Parent Information (Social Security number, date of birth and email address)
• Personal laptop, if available

Parents are welcome to attend and are asked to bring the same materials as the student.

“Culver-Stockton is excited to assist anyone who needs to file their FAFSA. With all of the changes made to the FAFSA in the last year, it is sometimes overwhelming or difficult for students and parents to navigate,” Patti Mathieson, C-SC associate director of Financial Aid, said in a press release. “We want to help them file correctly the first time they go to the studentaid.gov website.”

The earlier a student files, the more beneficial it is to help them make informed decisions about choosing the right college. The FAFSA is submitted online and allows applicants to share their financial information with the schools of their choice for the upcoming academic year.
