Financial Aid for College

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

To apply for federal student aid, such as federal grants, work-study funds, and loans, you need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form. Completing and submitting the FAFSA form is free, and it gives you access to the largest source of financial aid to help pay for college or career school.

Historically, the FAFSA has been available beginning October 1st each year. However, because of significant changes to the application and the relaunch of the FAFSA processing system, the 2024-25 FAFSA will not be available until sometime in December 2023.
