Federal Student Aid (FSA)

Federal Student Aid (FSA) refers to financial assistance provided by the U.S. government to help students pay for college or career school. This aid comes in various forms, including grants, scholarships, work-study opportunities, and low-interest loans. The primary source of this funding is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which students fill out to determine their eligibility. FSA aims to make higher education more accessible by reducing the financial burden on students and their families, ultimately supporting educational attainment and workforce development in the country.
