Resources for Completing the FAFSA
Types of Financial Aid
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) can be used to apply for the following types of financial aid:
Why ALL Students Should Complete the FAFSA
ALL students should complete the FAFSA regardless of their plans for after high school. Your plans can change at any time.
The FAFSA may open your eyes to opportunities that you did not realize were possible.
Unforeseeable financial events can happen and your situation may change.
Some scholarships and merit based aid provided by college/universities require that the FAFSA be completed.
Any student, regardless of income, who wants to borrow federal student loans (also known as Stafford or Direct student loans), must fill out the FAFSA to get access to these loans.
Some colleges or scholarships require the FAFSA to be completed as a condition of enrollment.
Families are often poor judges of their own financial aid neediness, and there are a lot of factors that go into determining need. Income is only one indicator.
