How’s That FAFSA Coming Along?
July 8th 2008 02:06
As a student, do you know what a FAFSA is? If you don’t, you should. This is the Free Applications for Federal Student Aid and is your ticket to finding money for college. Some universities will require that you complete this in order to attend school. However, that is not always the case…unfortunately. You see the FAFSA is about more than getting student loans. It is also about grants and other free money.
That’s right I said free money. That’s money that doesn’t have to be repaid – ever, unless of course you drop out of school in the middle of the term. Here’s the trick though, some funds are limited so if you don’t complete your FAFSA early in the year, you are missing out on money that you could have had to help you with your college expenses.
In saying this though, don’t think that everyone qualifies. Grants are need-based financial aid. You are more likely to get these if you are considered an independent student and have little or no income.
Just don’t miss out on a possible opportunity. It’s not often that you will get offered free money.
