Application Tips
The foundation encourages students to first complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid to determine their expected family income. However, those unable to complete the FAFSA may still apply.
Answers to frequently asked questions about the FAFSA can be found at studentaid.gov. High school guidance departments and college admissions offices can also help.
Students are also encouraged to review College Scorecard, which can be found at collegescorecard.ed.gov. College Scorecard allows students to evaluate the cost of attendance at their preferred institution. It also provides key information about student outcomes post-graduation.
