FAFSA
(Free Application for Federal
Student Aid) is the application that
allows a student to apply for federal
grants, loans, and work-study programs.
All Utah colleges and universities
accept the FAFSA to apply for federal
financial aid. The application may be
completed using a paper and pencil
application (available in the counseling
center) or online at
www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Parents and students should be careful
of sites that use FAFSA in their URL.
The FAFSA application is free; if the
site you go to attempts to charge you
for the application, you are not at the
government's official site. To be sure
you are at the official site, use this
link.
And, don't forget your PIN! Both parent
and student need separate PINs so that
they can electronically sign and access
information about their FAFSA
application.
Financial
Aid Estimator In September
2005, the Secretary of Education formed
the bipartisan Commission on the Future
of Higher Education to launch a national
dialogue on the vital issues of
accessibility, affordability, and
accountability in higher education. One
of the needs identified in the
Commission’s final report was to notify
students of their federal student aid
eligibility earlier in order to help
families plan better. They have
developed FAFSA4caster to address this
need. FAFSA4caster is a companion piece
to the official FAFSA on the Web. The
free FAFSA4caster tool will assist high
school juniors and their families in the
following ways: Instantly calculate an
estimated EFC, inform the student of
potential Federal Pell Grant (Pell
Grant) eligibility, and reduce the time
needed to complete the FAFSA when the
student applies as a senior.
FAFSA4caster Access Students and
families interested in assessing their
eligibility for federal student aid can
access FAFSA4caster by visiting:
