I try to explore different topics and ideas to discuss/share on the blog. While going through some papers and looking through some stuff, I remember that I forget to write about this topic. Therefore, today we are going to talk about FASFA.
First, you may ask, "What is FASFA." FASFA is federal aid or money for going to college. Although they said "federal aid", it is basically tax that is set aside for students who want to go to college, but need money to help pay for college.
FASFA is available to students who have need and are looking to attend college (certificate program, associate degree, or 4 year degree). You need to fill out FASFA every year.
FASFA should be filled out by any and every student. It is something that will without a doubt helpful in paying for school. A simple summary is basically this:
(1) Wait until you or parents file Income Tax
(2) Go to this website- https://fafsa.ed.gov/
(3) Create a account
(4) Fill out all of the information
(5) Have FASFA send the information to your desired schools
That is about it. You will receive a FASFA report from the school, telling you how much aid they can give you. Once you choose your school, you accept the financial aid package.
Like stated above, you must file for FASFA every year. So, if you are a returning college student, you must fill out the FASFA again. Usually, if you have a login account, it should be easier than the time before.
Now, if you file for FASFA, everything will stay the same. So, please continue to make every effort to win and secure a scholarship or scholarships. Every penny counts.
There is not much to it. However, the last tip is the most important.
DON'T MISS THE DEADLINE!!
Must colleges have a financial aid deadline in which they expect you to have the aid sent to them. In addition, FASFA has a deadline in which you have to apply to get aid for that specific year.
Closing,
Here is the rules straight from the FASFA website.
" To be considered for federal student aid for the 2016-2017 award year, you can complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) between January 1, 2016 and midnight Central Time, June 30, 2017. Any corrections or updates must be submitted by midnight Central Time, September 23, 2017.
However, many states and colleges have earlier deadlines for applying for state and institutional financial aid. You can find your state’s deadline at https://fafsa.ed.gov/deadlines.htm. Check with your college about its deadlines.
Because of the variation in state and college deadlines, it is highly recommended that you fill out the FAFSA as soon as you can after January 1 to ensure that you do not miss out on available aid. "
