Financial Aid:
For 2023, the FAFSA opening date has been pushed back to December. As soon as possible, students and their parents should complete the Free Application of Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). A FAFSA must be on file with each school to which you have applied in order to be considered for any form of federal or state assistance: Pell Grant, TEXAS Grant, Work-Study Employment, Stafford Loans, etc. Many scholarships also require that the FAFSA at least be filed, regardless. Remember, the FAFSA is FREE. If for some reason a website you are on is asking for money, you are not on the correct website.
The FSA ID is a username and password that gives you the unique benefit of logging into your accounts - while removing all personally identifiable information. Students and their parent must have an FSA ID.
FAFSA - http://www.fafsa.ed.gov
Some universities require a CSS profile. Check with your college or university of choice to see if the CSS is a requirement. Additional information can be found at: www.collegeboard.org.
