Financial Aid Forms & Info

FINANCIAL AID INFORMATION: FAFSA BASICS

Planning on attending college? Wondering how to get financial aid?

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is where is all starts. A family's finances are input in to the FAFSA. Colleges and Universities compare their funds available and the cost of attendance (COA) with the scholarships and grants a student is eligible for, based on the family finances. This is reported via the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The FAFSA application opens on October 1 each year. Learn more.
