The Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance will conduct its seventh annual “Financial Aid Call-In Night” Monday, Feb. 25 from 6 – 9 p.m.

During these special nighttime hours, callers may contact LOSFA with questions about all forms of state and federal student financial assistance, including the Tuition Opportunity Program for Students, need based grants, student loans, and the Student Tuition Assistance and Revenue Trust program—Louisiana’s 529 college saving plan.

LOSFA’s public information representatives will also provide on-the-spot advice and assistance for completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid—also known as the FAFSA—which is the convenient single application for most state and federal student aid programs.

Callers from outside the Baton Rouge area may use LOSFA’s toll-free number, (800) 259-5626, ext. 1012.

LOSFA’s normal call-in hours for student financial assistance information are 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The annual “Financial Aid Call-In Night” is designed to assist callers who are unable to call during regular business hours. The event is always held in February, which is national Financial Aid Awareness Month.
