Free Application For Student Aid (FAFSA)
It is highly recommended that students and parents fill out the FAFSA form to learn about financial assistance options for college. Before each year of college, you can apply for federal grants, work-study and loans with the FAFSA. Colleges use FAFSA data to determine your federal financial aid eligibility. Many states and colleges use FAFSA data to award their own aid. For FAFSA information and the application, please visit Federal Student Aid and/or contact the College and Career Readiness Counselor at your school.
