Financial Aid (FAFSA)

Most students depend on financial aid to help them pay for college. Financial aid is money offered to students through government agencies, individual schools, or other sources. The amount and type of financial aid provided is usually determined by financial need. But, some scholarships and awards are given based on academic achievement, talent or by meeting certain criteria. This is a graduation requirement.
