Tis the Season for FAFSA Completion.....
Congratulations to our FAFSA Completers!
The FAFSA is open! All 12th grade students should complete the FAFSA to qualify for the Community College Guarentee, Institutional Aid, Federal and state grants and financial aid. This includes young people entering the trades or seeking a post-secondary certificate.
What is the FAFSA?
What it is: A free application to determine eligibility for various types of financial aid for higher education.
What it's for: It is used to award federal aid (like grants, loans, and work-study) and is also used by states and colleges to determine their own aid packages.
Information needed: You will need financial information such as tax returns, records of child support received, and current balances of cash, savings, and checking accounts. For dependent students, a parent will also need to contribute information.
When to apply: The FAFSA is typically available on October 1st each year for the following school year. It is important to submit it as soon as possible to meet deadlines.
How it works: After submitting the FAFSA, a Student Aid Index (SAI) is calculated based on your financial information. Colleges use this index to help determine how much financial support you may need and to create a financial aid offer.
