What is FAFSA?
FAFSA stands for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and is the first step in the financial aid process. You use it to apply for federal student financial aid, such as grants, loans and work-study. In addition, most states and schools use information from the FAFSA to award non-federal aid. |
