Thanks to the Tennessee Reconnect Act, eligible adults can complete two years at Roane State Community College tuition-free beginning in fall 2018.

The first step, though, is to file a 2018-19 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Roane State’s financial aid staff will host special events to help you complete your 2018-19 FAFSA.

The FAFSA event at Roane State’s Oak Ridge campus, which is at 701 Briarcliff Avenue, will be held on Monday, October 16, from 5-7 p.m.

Those who attend are asked to bring their 2016 income tax return and their 2016 W-2 forms.

To learn more about the Oak Ridge event and other FAFSA events, visit roanestate.edu/reconnect or contact Reconnect Counselor Jack Parker at (865) 354-3000 ext. 4891 or parkerja4@roanestate.edu.
