Don’t forget to file your FAFSA!

The 2022-2023 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) opened on October 1, 2021. FAFSA is the form that the government and most colleges use to determine your financial aid eligibility and completing the form is a basic for all college-bound students. Although there are different submission deadlines for the FAFSA (federal, state, and school), please be aware that it is important to file early because some states and colleges have limited funds. You can access the FAFSA at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa.
