Need money for college? Help is out there — but only if you fill out the FAFSA
If you, or students you support, have applied to college, congratulations on choosing to invest in your future! The next big step: Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. aka FAFSA, to get as much help paying for college as possible. You’re likely to get more money than you expect — and we’re talking about grants and scholarships that never have to be paid back.
Astoundingly, 44% of high school graduating seniors around the country didn’t even fill out the FAFSA in 2022, leaving nearly $3.6 billion in free college grant aid unclaimed.
