FAFSA
Federal student aid (FAFSA)
The FAFSA form must be completed to qualify for federal student
aid programs (grants, loans and work-study).
You need only file one FAFSA regardless of how many colleges you
are considering.
File all the required forms for financial aid consideration at
the college(s) you are considering. Many colleges require that you
have both an application for admission and for financial aid, so
check with your college(s) for requirements and deadlines.
