FAFSA stands for “Free Application for Federal Student Aid.” The official FAFSA web address is https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa/.
The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Federal Student Aid (FSA) provides more than $150 billion in federal aid each year in the form of grants, work-study funds, and loans. Completing the FAFSA is the first step toward receiving federal aid for college, career school, or graduate school. In addition, many states and colleges use FAFSA data to determine student eligibility for state and school aid; further, some private financial aid providers may use FAFSA information to determine eligibility for their aid.
Visit FSA’s FAFSA: Applying for Aid webpage for more information about FAFSA completion.
