What is the FAFSA?
What is the FAFSA?
FAFSA Opens December 2024*** and The priority deadline is March 1st!
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is the official form to apply for federal financial aid to pay for college. Specifically, the FAFSA determines who will receive aid through loans, scholarships, and grants based on the information collected from the application.
To apply for federal student aid, such as federal grants, work-study, and loans, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®). Completing and submitting the FAFSA is free and more accessible than ever, and it gives you access to the largest source of financial aid to pay for college or career school.
In addition, many states and colleges use your FAFSA information to determine your eligibility for state and school aid, and some private financial aid providers may use your FAFSA information to decide whether or not you qualify for their aid.
