COLLEGE GOAL SUNDAY: College Financial Aid Help at a Location Near You!
About half of Indiana’s college students are eligible to receive financial aid, and free help is available to help this year’s high school seniors receive next year’s college funding.
 College Goal Sunday will be held Sunday, February 12, 2012, at 40 sites across Indiana. Volunteers will provide free help to students and parents in filling out the FAFSA – the document that is required when applying for college financial aid. About 3,800 students receive this free service each year. Find the location near you.

LOW-COST HEALTH INSURANCE
Youth-serving nonprofits with at least five full-time employees are eligible for low-cost health insurance purchased at group rates.
 The health insurance is provided through WorkSmart, which also provides payroll, legal and other “back office” functions. Our monthly health insurance premiums at the Indiana Youth Institute were reduced by 50 percent when we first switched to WorkSmart.
