Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

FAFSA

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (known as the FAFSA) is a form that can be prepared annually by current and prospective college students (both undergraduate and graduate) in the United States to determine their eligibility for student financial aid (including the Pell grants, and work-study programs). Begin filling out for the following school year in January.

CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE

The CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE, short for the College Scholarship Service Profile, is an application distributed by the College Board in the United States allowing college students to apply for financial aid. It is primarily designed to give private member institutions of the College Board a closer look into the finances of a student and family. It is much more detailed than the FAFSA. Not all schools require this, check with each individual college.

Local/State Scholarship Information

Students can access local/state scholarship information within their google classroom for their graduating year.
