Financial Aid and SCHOLARSHIPS!
FAFSA (Free Application For Federal Student Aid) - Submit an application online to qualify for loans, grants, and other types of financial aid for college and career training. Get an early estimate of your eligibility on student financial aid with the FAFSA4CASTER.
Students will be able to submit a 2017–18 FAFSA as early as Oct. 1, 2016, rather than beginning on Jan. 1, 2017. The earlier submission date will be a permanent change, enabling students to complete and submit their FAFSAs as early as October 1 every year. You and your parent will need your own PIN #.
on the 2017–18 FAFSA, students (and parents, as appropriate) will report their 2015 income and tax information, rather than their 2016 income and tax information.
