FAFSA
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (known as the FAFSA) is a form that can be prepared annually by current and prospective college students ( undergraduate and graduate) in the United States to determine their eligibility for student financial aid.
The FAFSA should not be confused with the CSS Profile, which is also required by some colleges. The CSS is a fee-based product of the College Board and usually used by colleges to distribute their own institutional funding rather than federal or state.
