FAFSA: Money for College!
Not sure if you want to fill out the FAFSA? Here are 5 reasons why you should.
1. You won't know if you qualify for aid unless you apply.
2. You can't get the best student loans without applying for the FAFSA.
3. Many states and different colleges rely on the FAFSA when they decide who they will award aid to!
4. You may qualify for more aid and scholarships if you apply.
5. It only takes an average of 23 minutes to fill out, and it can help you obtain enough aid to attend the college of your choice! Therefore, filling out FAFSA is an important early step for your future goals! With all these great reasons, why wouldn't you apply?
