Welcome to College Goal Maine 2013
Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required to apply for state and federal financial assistance for higher education. College Goal Maine is an opportunity for students and parents to receive free assistance completing and filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is the first step to applying for Federal aid, and it is a requirement for most college students who plan to pay for college with the help of federal, state, or institutional aid like grants, scholarships, work study, and loans. Students and families can complete the application either at an in-person event or online. You can complete the 2013-2014 FAFSA anytime on or after January 1, 2013.
