College Financial Aid

What is the FAFSA?

• FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)
• Free online application for federal government aid for college
• Helps students qualify for work-study (jobs on campus to help pay tuition costs) and subsidized loans

Complete the FAFSA

• FAFSA Website

• Provide the required information from your taxes
• Pay attention to college priority deadlines
• Never too late to submit the FAFSA — seniors can still submit it even as late as spring/summer, but keep college deadlines in mind!
• Don't hesitate to ask the counselors for help
