Federal Student Aid - FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)
What is the FAFSA?
The FAFSA is the application you will use to apply for the federal student aid programs offered by the U.S. Department of Education (ED). The FAFSA must be completed for all types of education beyond high school. Completing and submitting the FAFSA is free and easier than ever, and it gives you access to the largest source of financial aid to help pay for college or career school. Federal student aid covers such expenses as tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, transportation, and for other related expenses, such as a computer and dependent care. Also, many states and colleges use your FAFSA data to determine your eligibility for state aid and school aid, and some private financial aid providers may use your FAFSA information to determine whether you qualify for their aid.
To apply for financial aid, you must complete and submit the FAFSA at:
