Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA)
Seniors/Parents: The time to complete the new 2021–22 FAFSA application is almost here!
The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Federal Student Aid provides more than $120 billion in financial aid to help students pay for college or technical school each year. The FAFSA is required to qualify for federal, state, and university aid, including many scholarships. The sooner you submit the FAFSA, the more monies there are available to students. Do not delay.
The FAFSA application opens October 1st and can be accessed here: https://studentaid.gov/ .
Clawson High School, in conjunction with Oakland University, is hosting an online small group workshop for students to get help starting their FAFSA and learning more about paying for college.
Registration is required for this workshop: Register Now
