There is money available to help pay for college, but you have to apply for financial aid!
All students should submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is used by all schools to award federal and state financial aid. Many schools also use the FAFSA to award their institutional financial aid. Most families can complete the FAFSA in less than 30 minutes.
File Your FAFSA Now!
The FAFSA becomes available each year on October 1. Students must file the FAFSA every year to be considered for financial aid.
