FAFSA

FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is a form students complete annually to determine their eligibility for financial assistance to pay for college. It gathers information about your family's income, assets, and financial situation to assess what federal aid, such as grants, work-study, and loans, you may qualify for. Many colleges also use FAFSA data to award their own scholarships and aid. Filling out the form accurately and on time can help you access financial resources to make higher education more affordable.
