Moraine Valley Offers FAFSA Financial Aid Workshops For Students

PALOS HILLS, IL — Moraine Valley Community College’s financial aid office will host FAFSA (alternative application for Illinois Financial Aid) workshops on Tuesdays, every hour from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The workshops will be held on the main Palos Hills campus in Building S, room 225, 9000 College Parkway.

Here, students can get additional help with completing their FAFSA form. The dates are as follows:

Jan. 6
Jan. 13
Jan. 27
Feb. 3
Feb. 10

For these workshops, students will need to bring the following documents:

• Your Social Security Number
• Your USCIS Registration Number (if you are not a U.S. citizen)
• Yours and your parent’s federal income tax returns, W-2s, and other records of money earned. (Note: You may be able to transfer your federal tax return information into your FAFSA using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. For the 2025-26 FAFSA, we look at 2023 tax info.)
• Bank statements and records of investments (if applicable)
• Records of untaxed income (if applicable)
• An FSA ID to sign electronically (one for you and one for one of your parents)
• Demographic parental information (Social Security numbers, dates of birth, marital status dates [dates of marriages, divorces or separation])

For FAFSA purposes, a student is considered independent and does not need parental information if they are 24 or older, are married, or have a child they provide more than half of their support for.

Credit classes start Jan. 12. If you have any questions, please contact Financial Aid at 708-974-5726 or financialaid@morainevalley.edu. Register online for a workshop in advance.
