FAFSA "Frequently Asked Questions"
What is the FAFSA?
To apply for federal student aid, such as federal grants, loans, and work-study, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Completing and submitting the FAFSA is free and accessible online. Many states and colleges use your FAFSA information to determine your eligibility for state and school aid, and some private financial aid providers may use your FAFSA information to determine whether you qualify for their aid. What types of aid are available?

How much financial aid am I eligible to receive?
Will I need to fill out the FAFSA each year?
Yes. Because eligibility for federal student aid does not carry over from one award year to the next, you need to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for each award year in which you are or plan to be a student. Your eligibility for financial aid can differ from year to year for various reasons, including your family’s financial situation and the number of your family members enrolled in college.
