What is the FAFSA?

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is your gateway to getting the financial assistance you need to complete your college degree.

The FAFSA opens every Oct 1. Be sure to apply early to ensure prompt processing. Besides student loans, the FAFSA can also qualify you for scholarships.

It doesn’t cost anything to fill out a FAFSA and usually takes less than an hour to complete. Remember, to receive aid, you must have full and clear admission into the program.
