AWC’s Office of Financial Aid and the Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education (ACPE) are teaming up for their Annual College Goal FAFSA. College bound students are encouraged to attend College Goal FAFSA on Friday, October 14 from 3pm-6pm at the AWC Downtown Center (1351 S. Redondo Center Dr. in Yuma) or on Friday, November 18 from 3pm-6pm at the AWC San Luis Center.
Former astronaut Mike Foreman visited Arizona Western College on Thursday, September 22nd to talk to AWC students and students from the area about working in space. He spoke with the students in the Schoening Conference Center in the College Community Center (3C) on the Yuma Campus.
Foreman is a retired U.S. Navy pilot and a NASA astronaut. One of his NASA missions was to deliver the Japanese Experiment Module and the Canadian Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulate to the International Space Station. In November 2009, he served as a crewmember for the STS-129 mission.
Thanks to the new Prior-Prior Year policy (PPY), beginning with the 2017-2018 academic year, students will no longer need to wait until January to begin the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) process. That’s because they’ll be able to file the FAFSA using tax information from two years prior (2015 tax info) and will now be able to apply for FASFA starting October 1, 2016.
Arizona Western College will be offering three Personal Development Workshops that are free and open to the AWC community this fall semester.
Guest Speaker is David Parker, Professor of Computer Science
During the end of June 2016, Arizona Western College Institute of Welding Technology students attended the SkillsUSA national conference and competition in Louisville, KY and came back as winners.
