The State Employee Credit Union (SECU), Wake Tech, Meredith College, and Saint Augustine’s University will be holding a financial aid day on Feb. 23. During this event, financial aid specialists will be available to assist students with the completion of the FAFSA form. The event is open to students who plan to attend college in the 2013-14 academic year.
