FAFSA
Why does FAFSA matter? The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the key to unlocking money for college, trade school, and career training. Completing it can open the door to:
-
Federal aid like Pell Grants and work-study programs
-
State scholarships, including Bright Futures and the Florida Student Assistance Grant
-
Local scholarships and support from colleges right here in our region
Many students miss out on thousands of dollars in aid simply because they don’t complete the form. Don’t leave money on the table!
