PITTSFIELD, Mass —In advance of the Commonwealth’s July 1, 2024 priority deadline for completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) forms, Berkshire Community College (BCC) will hold a FAFSA Completion Workshop on Friday, June 21 from 9-11 am in the Financial Aid Office (Room F-139). 

 

To register for the workshop, visit www.berkshirecc.edu/fafsa-workshop.

 

Registration is encouraged but not required; drop-ins are welcome. 

 

Students should bring a copy of their 2022 taxes and their Federal Student Aid (FSA) login information. Those under 24 will need parental information, and parents must also have an FSA login. To create an FSA account or log in to an existing account, visit https://studentaid.gov/.  

 

FAFSA is required for most forms of financial aid, including MassReconnect, the Nursing Scholarship Program and BCC Foundation Scholarships. The July 1 deadline, an extension of the original May 1 deadline, is considered a “priority deadline,” meaning students may file after this date but may not have access to funding sources available before July 1. 

 

BCC students may also get financial aid assistance any time by visiting the One Stop center

Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4 pm. Appointments are not required.
