Montgomery College schedules FAFSA Day Oct. 3 at East County Education Center

On the same broadcast, Carly Bet Acevedo, a financial-aid counselor with Montgomery College, promoted the college’s FAFSA Day to help students and families complete federal and state financial-aid applications. She said the event will be Saturday, Oct. 3, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Montgomery College’s East County Education Center in Silver Spring, and that a virtual option will open at 10:30 a.m. "FAPSA Day es el 3 de octubre. Lo hicimos en un sábado para que todo el mundo pueda llegar," she said on air, inviting families and seniors to register.

Acevedo described services offered at the event: one-on-one assistance filling FAFSA and state aid applications (including resources for undocumented students), on-site activities, prizes and a $500 scholarship drawing. She encouraged high-school seniors and current college students to apply early and gave the public-facing registration instructions used on air (search the college events page for "financial aid events" or "FAFSA Day"). The broadcast discussed application timing for the 2027–28 aid cycle and advised listeners to submit forms well before spring deadlines to maximize eligibility. Montgomery College contact and event registration details were provided on air and on the college website.
