FAFSA
Free Application for Federal Student Aid
www.FAFSA.gov

All Seniors attending a 2 or 4 year college should complete the FAFSA no matter what your family income!
Many scholarships require FAFSA completion even if you are not eligible for federal/state funding.
Students are reminded to complete and submit the FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov by early-mid November of their senior year.
Federal/state moneys are distributed on a first come/first serve basis. Students are encouraged to file as soon as possible after October 1st.
MAP Grant money (free money!!) runs out earlier every year. File early to make sure you don't miss out!
ISAC reps are available to help all students and families with FAFSA completion no matter what college they plan to attend. They are trained in FAFSA completion and can answer all your questions.
Go to www.ISAC.org or call Student Services at 800.899.ISAC (4722) for help with your FAFSA.

Always check the financial aid/scholarship web page on the website of any college you are serious about attending to find valuable scholarships. You will be automatically considered for some when you apply to the college but others will require additional applications or paperwork. Some scholarship applications may be due before you know if you are even accepted to the college.
