Federal Student Aid
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) provides access to federal, state, and institutional aid, including grants, scholarships, loans and work-study programs.
The FAFSA opens in October and is the most important step in getting money for college. Get started by creating an account at www.fafsa.gov.
Understanding Your Award Letter
A college/school financial aid offer (sometimes called an award letter) tells you what financial aid you are eligible for at a particular college or career school. If you have applied to several schools, be sure to compare aid offers. Understanding your financial aid offer can help you decide the best option for you.
