Why picking the right classes is important

To be eligible for grants, loans, work -study and some scholarships, all students need to completed the

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA),

which determines eligibility for financial aid. Students who do not complete FAFSA are not eligible for any federal aid, which includes grants, loans and work-study. In addition to many states, private loan companies, and some private organizations rely on the information FAFSA provides to make their financial aid decisions. Slide13
