The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a form that students in the United States must complete to apply for federal student financial aid. The FAFSA collects information about the student’s financial situation, including their income, assets, and family size. This information is used to determine the student’s eligibility for financial aid, such as grants, loans, and work-study programs.
Completing the FAFSA is an important step in the financial aid process. Students who do not complete the FAFSA will not be eligible for federal student financial aid. The FAFSA is available online at the Federal Student Aid website. Students can also complete the FAFSA by mail or by phone.
