The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the main application used to apply for federal or state-supported financial aid to pay for a college education. Completing and submitting the FAFSA is free, easy and provides you access to the largest source of financial aid available.
Financial aid covers expenses like tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, transportation and other college-related expenses. The FAFSA can be used to determine eligibility for:
Federal Student Aid – Pell Grants and student loans.
State Financial Aid – HOPE Scholarship and Grant programs.
Institutional Financial Aid – Institutional Scholarships offered by a college.
Private Financial Aid – Private Scholarships provided by businesses or other organizations.
