FAFSA - Opening date December 1
If you will be applying to colleges for Fall 2025 acceptance (this includes NOVA and trade schools), you must apply for FAFSA. CLICK HERE FOR THE FAFSA LINK.
Many people ask me the question, I make too much money, I don't think I'll get help from FAFSA. OR, I'm only going to NOVA or a trade school, do I need to apply for FAFSA. The answer is YES, and here is why:
FAFSA simply is an application for Federal Aid, it doesn't mean that you will get it. However, colleges and universities across the country require you to submit a FAFSA (even NOVA and trade schools). If a FAFSA is not submitted, then merit and other potential scholarships that the school may offer, you will not be eligible for because a FAFSA was not submitted.
In the event you would not be eligible for Fed Aid, FAFSA also allows the student to apply for federal work study program, which allows students to work on campus to help aid in getting money for miscellaneous necessities. When you fill out your FAFSA, be sure to check the box that you want to apply for Federal Work Study programs.
Even if you apply for FAFSA and then you end up with loan options, that doesn't mean you have to accept the loan options. It's always your choice to accept the aid that is offered, or not.
So, for this and many other reasons, it is always a good plan to apply for FAFSA. Of course, it is still up to you. However, if you should be eligible for monies and you do not apply, then you won't be eligible to receive them.
