As the FAFSA deadline quickly approaches, it’s crucial for students to ensure they have all the necessary documents ready to complete the application on time. Filling out the FAFSA is a vital step in securing financial aid for college, and missing the deadline could mean missing out on essential funding.
Why is FAFSA Important?
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the key to unlocking financial aid opportunities, including grants, scholarships, work-study, and loans. Completing the FAFSA is often the first step for students to determine their eligibility for federal, state, and institutional financial aid. This can significantly reduce the financial burden of higher education.
What Documents Do You Need?
To successfully complete the FAFSA, you’ll need several important documents. These typically include your Social Security number, driver’s license, and financial records such as your latest tax returns. If you’re a dependent student, you’ll also need your parents’ financial information.
Need Help?
If you’re a student at Antioch, Cane Ridge, Glencliff, or John Overton High School, assistance is available! You can reach out to your GEAR UP or Escalera Coordinator at your school for guidance. They are there to help you navigate the application process and answer any questions you might have.
Don’t wait until the last minute. Start gathering your documents now, and reach out for help if you need it. Ensuring your FAFSA is completed accurately and on time is crucial for securing the financial aid you need for your education.
