The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a form that must be completed by all students who wish to receive federal financial aid for college. The FAFSA collects information about the student’s family income, assets, and other financial information. This information is used to determine the student’s eligibility for federal grants, loans, and work-study programs.
It is important to check your FAFSA status regularly to make sure that your application is complete and that you are receiving all of the financial aid for which you are eligible. You can check your FAFSA status online at the Federal Student Aid website.
