Federal Application for Federal Student Aid

Students in high school planning on continuing their education beyond high school should become familiar with the website and the Federal Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).  Completion of the FAFSA form will allow colleges, universities and technical schools to supplement the expected family contribution towards the cost of education by awarding their own grants and scholarships.
