The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is a form that students in the United States complete to apply for financial aid for college or graduate school. Students can submit the application for free on the official website, which requires financial information about the student and their family.
To qualify, students must:
-
Meet the April 15 deadline (specific to Indiana)
-
Maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0
-
Be a U.S. citizen
-
Be enrolled in school
The FAFSA can cover a significant portion of tuition, sometimes almost all of it, depending on the institution’s cost and location. Completing the FAFSA is crucial for students requiring financial aid.
