FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a form used by college students in the U.S. to apply for financial aid for their education. Completing the FAFSA helps determine your eligibility for federal grants, loans, and work-study programs based on your financial situation. It's important to fill it out annually, as many colleges and states also use this information for their financial aid programs. Submitting the FAFSA can significantly reduce your education costs by securing the funding you need to attend school.
