The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a form that students in the United States must complete to apply for federal financial aid for college. The FAFSA collects information about the student’s family and financial situation, and uses this information to determine the student’s eligibility for grants, loans, and work-study programs.
The FAFSA is available online at the Federal Student Aid website. Students can also complete the FAFSA by mail or by phone. The FAFSA is typically due on June 30th, but students are encouraged to submit their FAFSA as early as possible. The FAFSA is used to determine a student’s eligibility for federal financial aid, so submitting the FAFSA on time is important.
