Who should fill out the FAFSA?
If you need assistance paying for college and you’re eligible for federal financial aid, you should fill out the FAFSA. Federal financial aid is available for U.S. citizens and eligible noncitizens (like permanent residents and individuals who meet certain noncitizen criteria). The application is free, and help is available along the way. You should complete the FAFSA every year you plan to attend college.
