FEDERAL AID

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the primary way students apply for federal financial aid to help pay for college or eligible postsecondary programs. Completing the FAFSA allows students to be considered for grants, work-study, and federal student loans, and it is also required by many colleges and scholarship programs. Students and families are encouraged to complete the FAFSA as early as possible to maximize available aid.
