FAFSA might sound like something you’d sprinkle onto a supreme pizza, but it’s really an acronym for Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
The most important thing to know is the first and last words: Free Aid.
Nearly every student is eligible for some form of financial aid! That includes low-interest Federal Stafford loans, parent PLUS loans, and more. FAFSA is used by nearly all colleges and universities to determine eligibility for federal, state, and college-sponsored financial aid, including grants, educational loans, and work-study programs.
Basically, the form determines whether or not you qualify for assistance. For example, we’ll need to know your family’s household income and other financial information. The U.S. Department of Education evaluates your form, and the results are electronically transmitted to the financial aid office of the school you list on your application.
