- It can only be completed on www.fafsa.gov. There are other sites that are very similar and will charge students to complete this FREE application.
STUDENTS:
- If you have completed your FAFSA, you need to set up your student account at each of the colleges that you have applied to in order to view your student aid report. This is where you will accept/deny any aid offered to you. Please see me if you have questions about this process.
- Pay attention to application and scholarship deadlines that are listed on the Career Center Events Calendar.
