FAFSA Reminder

1/27/2021

 
If you are a senior planning to enroll in college next year, now is the time to complete the 2021-22 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Visit https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa to create your account and complete the application.  

In order to access financial aid, students must file a FAFSA.  The FAFSA is the gateway to all federal aid, including loans, work-study, and grants.  Many scholarships also require that a FAFSA be on file.
 
The sooner you file, the better, as some financial aid is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis or is awarded from programs with limited funds.  So get in line for that aid and submit your FAFSA as soon as possible!
