Apply for Financial Aid with FAFSA
Complete the FAFSA online to apply for federal student aid. By completing, you are applying for federal grants, Work Study, and federal student loans. This is the first step in applying for financial aid, and most colleges need the FAFSA on file in order to distribute institutional scholarships and grants. You will file the FAFSA every year that you are in college. The FAFSA opens on October 1st of the student's senior year. Each college has their own deadlines.
