What is the FAFSA?
What is the FAFSA?
The acronym "FAFSA" stands for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. If you're planning to further your education after high school and want to seek financial aid from the government, you need to submit a FAFSA for each year you will attend a post-secondary institution. It asks for details regarding your family's income, tax returns, and general finances, so you will likely need a parent or guardian to help you submit it accurately.
Numerous institutions and states utilize information on the FAFSA to determine who receives financial aid and how much, which underscores its importance for college-bound seniors.
The FAFSA typically opens on October 1. When it becomes available, you can start the FAFSA by following this link. You should submit the application as soon as possible when it opens to maximize your aid.
If you do not intend to pursue post-secondary education, you must complete an opt-out form and return it to Mrs. Taylor.
