Free
Application for Federal Student Aid - FAFSA (www.fafsa.ed.gov):
The
FAFSA applications have arrived in the counseling office. This is the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid form that seniors, planning to enter any college or
trade school, should complete and send in as early as possible after January
1, 2002. The FAFSA is a federal student aid program to help students
afford college. Even if you believe you will not qualify because of parent income,
you should still complete the application, because many other scholarships for
college require that FAFSA be on file before they consider you for theirs. We
suggest you complete the FAFSA on line for quicker and more efficient processing.
Don't delay.
