Apply For Aid Using the FAFSA
Everyone who is interested in receiving financial assistance of any kind, including scholarships, grants, work study and federal loans, must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
The FAFSA opens Oct. 1.

- Your driver's license (if any)
- Your W-2 forms and other records of money earned

- Your parents鈥 W-2 forms

FAFSA on the Web will guide you through the questions that you must answer, and you can save your application and return to it later if you don鈥檛 have the information you need to answer any of the questions.
