The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) De-mystified
The U.S. Department of Education uses the FAFSA to determine eligibility for federal student aid, including low-cost loans, grants, and work-study. The FAFSA may also determine eligibility for state and school aid, AND for many SCHOLARSHIPS.
In other words, if you're planning to attend a 4-year College, Community/Junior College, or Trade School, OR maybe you just want to keep those doors open - YOU MUST COMPLETE THE FAFSA!
Ready? Set? GO! Step by step:
FIRST - Both Students & Parents/Guardians must create an account username & password called a FSA ID.
How to Create an Account Username and Password (FSA ID) - this 5-minutes video takes students & parents through the FSA ID set-up process.
Wow, that's great! You're ready to move forward with the FAFSA application? Well, we've got more help coming after Financial Aid Night.
