Federal funding is the largest source of financial aid. Apply for grants, loans, and other types of aid with this free application. Students and families are encouraged to submit the FAFSA as soon as possible after the application opens October 1, the fall semester before the student intends to attend college.

The FSA website has tons of relevant information for students, from what types of aid are available to how to qualify for aid – even how to manage student loans after graduation. The FSA website also has financial aid information unrelated to federal aid. Whether it’s resources to help you find and apply for scholarships or simple instructions on how to create a budget, FSA wants to ensure you have the tools for financial success in college.
