The FAFSA is Now Open!
If you're planning to attend a college or trade school, now is the time to get started! The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is a crucial step in securing financial aid — and I’m here to help.
Important: As a student, you must complete your portion of the FAFSA before your parents can complete theirs.
This is a time-sensitive process — the sooner you apply, the better your chances of receiving aid.
If you complete your FAFSA by October 28th, you’ll be entered into a drawing — 10 names will be drawn for a chance to win a prize!
Start your FAFSA here: https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa
