The FAFSA, Free Application for Federal Student Aid
Students planning on entering college in the fall after graduation are able to complete their FAFSA application starting in December 2023. States and schools have limited funds, so don't delay!
Completing the FAFSA determines your eligibility for state, federal and school based financial aid to help pay for college….no matter how much families make or have saved for college.
ALL students planning on going to college should complete the FAFSA!
Do you have your FSA ID?
Students, parents, and borrowers are required to use an FSA ID, made up of a username and password, to access certain U.S. Department of Education websites. Your FSA ID is used to confirm your identity when accessing your financial aid information and electronically signing your federal student aid documents.
Want More Access to Scholarships, Grants, Loans and Work Study Programs?
The FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Most students who apply will be eligible to receive federal loans, scholarships, grants and be eligible to participate in work-study programs to help families pay for the cost of college. ANYONE (no really, anyone) can fill out the FAFSA. The FAFSA portal opens on October 1 so start filling it out as soon as possible!
Visit their website for more details, or stop by and ask your counselor for more information!
