The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a standard form that helps determine if you qualify for federal aid, such as federal grants, loans, and work-study. Colleges also use this information to determine what institutional-based aid you are eligible for. In Missouri, you are required to file a FAFSA in order to be considered for most state financial aid opportunities, including Access Missouri, the A+ Scholarship Program, and the Fast Track Incentive Grant. 

The first step to filing your FAFSA is creating your account at studentaid.gov.
