The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is a free government form used to apply for college financial assistance, including federal grants, work-study funds, and loans. Virtually all accredited colleges require the FAFSA to be filled out to receive financial aid, grants, scholarships, or federal loans.
We hope to see you all there.
