Five tips for the FAFSA
(Free Application for Federal Student Aid)
1. EARLY AND OFTEN!
A FAFSA should be filled out once per year for every student attending college. It is
the one-stop access to three types of Federal funding.
a. Grants, which don’t have to be paid back
b. Work study, which provides eligibility for a part-time job on campus c. Student loans
It takes about 20 minutes to complete the FAFSA. Complete the form by early March for the upcoming academic year. The earlier you fill out the application, the better chance of receiving money your student doesn’t have to pay back.
