The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the primary tool used to determine eligibility for all forms of federal and state financial aid, as well as some college and university based aid. If you plan to attend a college or university between summer 2013 through spring 2014, you should attend one of the upcoming FAFSA Completion Night Workshops. Workshops have been completed for the next aid year.
It is not too late to complete a FASFA for the 13-14 aid year. Please use the following web-site:
