The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the form that the federal government uses to determine how much financial aid a student qualifies for. The form is sent to the school(s) that you are considering applying for, then those schools will provide you with an award letter detailing the financial aid package they will offer based on your FAFSA information. These awards can include scholarships, grants, and/or student loans.
