Career and College Update

WHAT IS THE FAFSA? The Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

Your financial aid journey starts with the FAFSA. This is where you will apply for grants (you don't have to pay back) or loans (that you do) through the federal government.

Who should apply? If you are even CONSIDERING going to either a university, community college, or trade school, you should apply (not all trade schools are eligible, and remember, MANY trade programs are housed at community colleges.). You might be eligible for up to $6495 in free money for school...and that is just the start, as it may also make you eligible for other grants, such as the Oregon Promise, and many other scholarships require it to be done. If you need more help, let me know!
