FAFSA Night is Monday, October 21!
Attending this event is essential for every senior considering going to a post-secondary educational institution. During the workshop, families get assistance in the FAFSA process and completing the application.
What is the FAFSA?
"The FAFSA form is an application that students and families need to complete to apply for federal student aid, such as federal grants, work-study funds, and loans. Completing and submitting the FAFSA form is free, and it gives students access to the largest source of financial aid to help pay for higher education." -US DOE.
Why is it important to get my application completed early?
You're more likely to qualify for federal, state, and college-offered grants if you file the FAFSA early. Saving for College reported that students who fill out the FAFSA between October and December get twice as many grants, on average, as compared with students who file the FAFSA later.
