Summary
For the 2021-2022 academic years, no significant changes to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) process were introduced.
Financial aid is money to help pay for college or career school. Grants, work-study, loans, and scholarships help make college or career school affordable. The FAFSA form is an essential part of the process and not to be taken lightly. The deadline to consider are as follows:
