MARSHFIELD – Financial aid is an essential element for students, families, and working adults when preparing for college. To help prospective students through this important process, the University of Wisconsin-Marshfield/Wood County is offering the annual Funding Your Education night on campus Wednesday, Jan. 28 at 7 p.m.

Funding Your Education is the source for tips about the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and other key steps in the financial aid process. During this free informational event, University staff will guide students and families through filling out the FAFSA; explain different types of aid-like grants, loans, and work study; and give tips about applying for scholarships.

Funding Your Education is a resource for any student or family considering college. Register for this event at marshfield.uwc.edu and click Apply/Pay/Register or call 715-389-6530.
