Applying for federal aid is a crucial step in financing your education. Federal aid provides financial assistance to students who demonstrate financial need and can come in the form of grants, scholarships, loans, and work-study programs. These funds can help cover the cost of tuition, fees, books, and living expenses.
Federal aid is available to students of all ages and backgrounds. To apply for federal aid, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is used to determine your eligibility for federal aid and the amount of aid you will receive. You can complete the FAFSA online at the Federal Student Aid website.
