The U.S. Department of Education has placed its Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on the web. Students can now download the application and/or apply online using their FSA ID. If you have not already created an FSA ID, you may apply here. A guide to filling out the FAFSA is also available online.
FAFSA: Applying for Aid
When applying for financial aid, here are things you should keep in mind:
- File the FAFSA, even if you think you will not be eligible for a Pell Grant. A completed FAFSA application is necessary to receive federal student loans and institutional scholarships.
- Almost everyone is eligible for some kind of financial aid in the form of grants or loans. The FAFSA will help you determine the amount and type of aid you may receive.
- Full-time status is not a requirement for federal aid.
