Patrick & Henry Community College’s TRIO Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) is excited to announce its upcoming 2024-2025 FAFSA Blitz, taking place from September 1 to September 30, 2024. This month-long event will take place from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM each business day at the TRIO EOC office in the Walker Fine Arts Building.
The FAFSA Blitz offers students an opportunity to receive free assistance completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2024-2025 academic year. In addition to FAFSA completion services, TRIO EOC will provide college advising, referrals, and prizes to students who complete their FAFSA during the event.
Appointments are encouraged, but walk-ins are also welcome. A TRIO representative is in Martinsville on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of each week, at P&HCC’s Patrick County Site on September 10 and 24, and at the Franklin Center on September 17. As part of federal reporting requirements, all participating students will be asked to complete the TRIO EOC intake form.
“We encourage all eligible students to take advantage of this free service,” said Sharon Harris, Program Director for TRIO EOC. “Completing the FAFSA is a crucial step in securing financial aid for college, and our team is here to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. This is also a great opportunity to learn about additional resources and support available through the TRIO EOC.”
