Federal Student Aid
Open season to apply for Federal student aid for the 2013-2014 school year is now open. In order to receive Federal student aid, an individual must first fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). FAFSA on the Web (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/) will guide individuals through the application process. In addition to the federal deadline, states and some colleges may also have deadlines for filing for financial aid.
If an individual is not ready to apply for Federal student aid but is interested in what estimated aid may be available to them, they should check out the estimate page (http://studentaid.ed.gov/fafsa/estimate). This information helps families plan ahead for college.
