From any prospective college students or parents of those students,
filling out a FAFSA form is essential.
But what exactly is the FAFSA stands for Free Application
for Student Aid.
It can provide students and families with different sources to
fund post secondary education.
That includes grants, loans, scholarships and work study programs.
More than 17.6 million FAFSA forms are completed each year.
Because it's free, anyone eligible can apply to receive federal
student aid.
Here's the criteria. You must be AUS citizen or eligible
non citizen,
have a valid Social Security number.
Be enrolled in an eligible degree or certificate program.
Also keep those grades up.
Satisfactory academic progress is a requirement as well.
The AD receive is dependent on your financial status as
well as other factors,
and some of the money awarded is handed out on
a first come first serve basis,
so it's important to file your FAFSA ASAP to help
you pay for your education.
