BETHANY ROBERTS, left, West Plains, was one of 20 area residents, including students, parents or spouses, who received free help filling out their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) during Missouri State University-West Plains’ FAFSA Frenzy event Saturday, March 5, at the Lybyer Technology Center. This is the seventh year Missouri State-West Plains has hosted the event, a program of College Goal Sunday, which gives students and their parents free access to financial aid professionals who can guide them through the application process. Donna Bassham, coordinator of financial aid at the university, said help was given to anyone planning to attend college, not just those who are current students or are planning to attend Missouri State-West Plains next fall. Ten volunteers, including, with Roberts above, Mary Kellum, coordinator of the university’s TRiO Student Support Services program, assisted students with their forms. Bassham said university officials are looking forward to hosting the event again next year. (Missouri State-West Plains Photo)
