From VASFAA Awareness Committee
The Virginia Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (VASFAA) is pleased to
announce that it will host 32 Super Saturday sites across the Commonwealth of Virginia on
Saturday, February 13, 2010.
Super Saturday is VASFAA's annual service project at which individuals seeking funding
for postsecondary education can receive FREE one-on-one assistance in completing the
federal financial aid form, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Volunteers will be at each site from 10:00AM to 2:00PM.
Each Super Saturday site will offer TWO financial aid workshops that explains the federal
and state financial aid process, followed by a Q & A period. The host sites will also
have computers available for students/parents to apply for federal aid electronically,
along with volunteer financial aid experts to assist. This event is open to parents and
students of all grade levels as well as adults interested in furthering their education.
The focus of Super Saturday is to offer one-on-one assistance in completing the FAFSA.
Once the student leaves the event, he/she will have initiated the financial aid process
for any college they are interested in attending and will have met the priority filing
date for most Virginia colleges. The financial aid process can be daunting. VASFAA hopes
that by offering students Super Saturday, one day of free, expert assistance to
accurately complete the FAFSA, we can help hundreds easily begin the process.
A $100 Book Scholarship will be awarded to one student at each Super Saturday site to be
used at the winner's college of choice during the 2010 - 11 academic year.

Super Saturday is open to the public and assistance with the FASFA will be given to new
as well as returning college students.
