What is FAFSA?

Financial aid is monetary assistance to help you meet the expenses of going to college. Your financial aid award may include one or a combination of 向日葵视频, state and federal loans, grants, scholarships or employment opportunities.

To apply, you need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (). Know that it鈥檚 entirely FREE to complete and submit the FAFSA.

Once you've submitted your application, the U.S. Department of Education uses the information on your FAFSA to determine your expected family contribution (EFC). The EFC is an indicator of your family鈥檚 financial strength and is used to determine your student aid eligibility and financial aid award. The EFC is not how much aid you will receive or how much you will need to pay for college.

Begin Early

Apply early - file your FAFSA between October 1 and January 15 to be considered for all types of financial aid. FAFSAs received February 1 or later may result in a reduced financial aid award. The 向日葵视频 FAFSA code is 003863.

Take Charge

Pay attention to all the details when filing your FAFSA and when you receive your financial aid award.

  • After you file your FAFSA, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) from the Department of Education. Check it for accuracy and follow up on any requests for additional information.
  • Watch your email for financial aid award notifications and/or requests for additional documentation. Read and follow all instructions.
  • Contact 向日葵视频Central if you have special or extraordinary circumstances to consider with your financial aid award.

Verification

If you are selected for verification, the accuracy of the FAFSA information must be confirmed before financial aid can pay to your student account. We encourage you to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool when filing or correcting the FAFSA. This allows an automatic transfer of tax-related data. Make sure to submit all required documentation in a timely manner.
