All Students Should Complete the FAFSA

It is a common misconception that students whose parents make too much money will not qualify for financial aid.  However, family income is only one of the many factors that determine a student's financial aid eligibility.  Consideration is also given to other factors such as the size of the student's family.

The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is used to award:

• Federal and non-federal student aid,
• Financial aid, student loans, and scholarships,
  
• Need-based and merit-based scholarships,
• By all types of post-secondary educational institutions
  • Trade schools
  • Technical colleges
  • 2-year colleges
  • 4-year colleges
