What is the FAFSA?

The FAFSA is a Free Application for Federal Student Aid that offers access to resources from the Federal Government. Filling out the FAFSA allows you to show your need for and receive financial aid.

Why Should I Fill Out the FAFSA?

  1. The FAFSA is completely free to fill out & without it, you may be losing out on a lot of financial aid.

  2. Most students qualify for FAFSA and receive financial aid for simply filling out the FAFSA.

  3. Some colleges require your FAFSA in order to offer financial aid.

  4. The FAFSA is needed to appeal financial aid offers from college for more financial aid.

  5. The FAFSA is required to apply for federal direct student loans and most state loans.

  6. Even if you are at a good financial standing and don’t think you need to fill out the FAFSA. It is good to fill out the FAFSA in case something were to happen financially to you or your family’s life. This change could possibly increase the amount of financial aid you are qualified to receive.
