Did you know? By filing your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), you become eligible for:
Access Federal Aid – Filing is the only way to be considered for federal grants, scholarships, work-study, and low-interest student loans.
State & School Aid – Many states and colleges use FAFSA information to award their own scholarships and grants, so you could miss out on free money if you don’t apply.
