Families with students who plan to attend or continue college next fall may be interested in completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, known as the FAFSA, now available online. The FAFSA is the starting point for students seeking federal aid and is used by most colleges as part of the student aid process. The form requires submission of financial and personal information about students and their parents, if the students are dependents, in order to determine eligibility for scholarships, grants, loans and work-study awards.

Visit the website for the U.S. Department of Education’s Federal Student Aid office to find various quick links and resources regarding how to fill out the FAFSA, how to estimate aid and what happens after a FAFSA is submitted.
