The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form is required to be submitted for students to be eligible to receive federal student aid. The information provided in the FAFSA form determines the student’s eligibility and award aid. Additionally, states use the FAFSA form and FAFSA information to award their own aid. Students have to complete a FAFSA form every year they’re enrolled in school to receive aid.
Each school and state has its own deadline for completing the FAFSA form. With limited funds available with several states, it is important to complete the FAFSA form before the applicable deadlines to ensure that students are eligible for as much aid as possible for college, career school, or trade school.
The FAFSA® Application | Federal Student Aid website offers a wide range of resources to get you started on the process. Check them out and start the process early to ensure you have all the documentation/information requested to complete this on time.
