FAFSA



What is the FAFSA, Free Application for Federal Student Aid.  It is the form you need to complete to get any financial aid from the federal government to help pay for college.  Collegeboard.org gives these important FAFSA facts.

1. Submitting the FAFSA is the most important thing you can do if you want financial aid.
2. The FAFSA is free - you don't need to pay anyone to prepare it for you.
3. You need to submit a new FAFSA before each academic year in which you want to get aid.  If you plan to apply for aid throughout college, you'll need to fill out the FAFSA each year.
4. Be sure to use a permanent email address on the form, not your high school email, so you can use your FAFSA account throughout college.


There are three ways to complete and submit your FAFSA:

  • Online at ed.gov
  • With the myStudentAid app, available in iTunes or Google Play
  • By printing and filling out a FAFSA form, then mailing it to the address on the form.


 



Do you have specific questions about the FAFSA or how to apply to college?  AzCAN has ways for you to get that help. Click PDF_College & Financial Aid Support_for students_families.pdf
