How do I apply for financial aid?

To apply for financial aid, you first need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. This form requires information about your financial situation and helps determine what types of aid you qualify for, such as grants, loans, and work-study programs. It's important to submit the FAFSA as soon as possible, as some aid is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Additionally, some schools may require additional forms or applications for institutional aid. Be sure to check with your school's financial aid office to ensure you are completing all necessary steps in the application process.
