Oakland University will be coming to Kettering to help our senior students and families work on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). They can help answer questions, assist you if you get stuck, and walk you through the process. You do not need to have a student who will be attending Oakland University, in order to attend. This is a service OU provides to the community for free.
To prepare for this event, please create an FSA ID here 3 days prior to the event if you do not already have one:
Both parent/guardian(s) and students needs their own FSA ID.
Bring your chromebook and phone and any information you may need to fill out the FAFSA.
