Start With the FAFSA

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is the one application used by the federal government, states and colleges to determine how much financial aid you qualify to receive. Colleges may have additional application requirements and deadlines, so work closely with the financial aid office at each college you’re considering. See How Do I Apply for Financial Aid?

Ten-minute webcast helps you complete the FAFSA

This year’s FAFSA is easier to fill out than before. And to help you prepare for and complete the FAFSA, we created a step-by-step webcast presentation that walks you through the process.

“The Financial Aid Application Process: What, When and How” webcast shares:

• what information you need to apply,
• how to go about entering parent information,
• if you are dependent or independent,
• how to enter income information, and more.

You can print the presentation materials to help follow along.

Be sure to check out EdFund’s Fund Your Future materials for additional information on paying for college.
