FAFSA
Securing Financial Assistance for Higher Education
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is an essential tool to determine eligibility for grants, scholarships, work-study programs, and federal student loans for college or career school. By completing and submitting the FAFSA—at no cost—you gain access to the largest source of financial assistance available for students.
It is crucial to submit your FAFSA application by the designated deadline to ensure consideration for federal student aid. In addition, many states and colleges rely on the information provided in your FAFSA to determine eligibility for their own financial aid programs. Begin your FAFSA application promptly to maximize your opportunities for financial support.
Required Information
- FSA-ID
- Social Security number
- A copy of your Income Tax Return
- Names of schools interested in attending
Tip: When completing any post-secondary planning, such as FAFSA, use a personal, not school-related email address.
Stop by the WHS College and Career Center if you have any further questions.
