FAFSA
Each year, the U.S. Department of Education rewards over $120 billion in federal grants, loans, and work-study funds to more than 13 million students. The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is the only way to apply for federal, state, and college aid. It is completely free and it typically takes ONLY 30 minutes to complete. Students may submit their FAFSA starting October 1st of their senior year. Many schools offer money on a first-come-first-serve basis, so the sooner one applies, the better.
Apply online at FAFSA.gov or learn more on our website at: Financial Aid (cguhsd.org)
