Any student who is interested in applying for financial aid must complete the FAFSA form. Please note the FAFSA application is FREE!! If you are being asked to pay to complete the form, you are on the wrong website.
Counselors are NOT able to help families fill out the FAFSA due to the confidential nature of your tax returns. If you have questions about your FAFSA, please reach out to the Financial Aid office at one of the colleges your child is applying to and they will be happy to help.
