FAFSA application open beginning Oct. 1
October 1, 2018
Every year on Oct. 1, seniors around the country begin filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This application allows students to become eligible for any federal student aid to finance college, such as federal grants, work-study and loans.

Here are some links that can help you get started on completing the FAFSA:
