SENIORS: Did you file your FAFSA?

The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) must be filed in order for students to be eligible for Federal Student Aid following high school. Parents of high school seniors may submit the FAFSA on the web at www.fafsa.ed.gov after January 1, 2006. In order to do so, the parent and student must have filed for a P.I.N. at www.pin.ed.gov. Parents are encouraged to complete the FAFSA on the web worksheet, which is available at the website, before entering the information online. The information entered on the FAFSA enables qualified students to be eligible for Federal Student Aid programs such as Pell Grants, Supplemental Grants (FSEOG), Loan Programs (such as FFEL and Perkins Loans), Institutional Aid Programs, and Work Study Programs. Parents who may need assistance with the FAFSA may contact the college/university the student plans to attend. A Spanish version of FAFSA on the web is also available at the website. Parents: Completion of the FAFSA is REQUIRED in order for qualified students to be eligible for the programs mentioned above.
