FAFSA Information

What is the FAFSA?

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the required form to receive any form of federal financial aid. It must be completed before the beginning of each year of college, and is used by the student's college to determine eligibility for any form of federal financial aid. This includes grants, scholarships and loans. In addition, many states and colleges use FAFSA data to determine if a student is eligible for other forms of aid.
