FAFSA

What is the FAFSA?

FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The data on your FAFSA is used to determine if you can get aid from the federal government, the state, many colleges and universities, and other private groups. There is no charge to complete and submit a FAFSA, whether you file online or on paper. 

 

When do I file the FAFSA?

The FAFSA should be filed during the spring semester of your senior year between January 1 and March 1.  This will ensure you are considered for most types of financial aid. You can easily file online.

Both you and your parents must apply for a personal identification number (PIN). Income tax information for the last tax year for both you and your parents is needed. Estimates can be used at first; however, actual tax information must be turned in once taxes are complete. Find out more information on FAFSA by visiting their website.

 

What is College Goal Sunday?

If you are even thinking about education beyond high school, you will most likely need financial help.
