To be considered for federal financial aid, you must complete and submit a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) each year. Additionally, most states, colleges, and universities use the FAFSA to award other types of student aid, including state- and college-sponsored financial aid, such as grants, educational loans, and work-study programs. This is a free application! Never pay to complete or submit the FAFSA form.
Today, The Common Application (Common App) is a non-profit membership organization representing nearly 900 diverse institutions of higher education.We connect applicants and those who support them to a wide array of public and private colleges and universities across all 50 U.S. states, and 20 countries.
Each year, more than one million students - a third of whom are first generation - apply to college, research financial aid and scholarships, and connect to college counseling resources through Common App.
Scan the code to begin the process! It's free!
