The workshops are in Room D-212 on the Peninsula College campus, 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd.

Students and potential students are encouraged to stop by the workshops at anytime on the following dates:

Workshop attendees should bring a completed 2008_09 "FAFSA on the Web" worksheet and their own (or parents’) 2007 tax return, if applicable, to the workshop.

Worksheets are available at the Peninsula College Financial Aid Office.

Workshop participants may request that a worksheet be mailed to them by calling Peninsula College’s Financial Aid Office at 417_6390.
