Each college you apply to will use the information on the FAFSA - Free Application
for Federal Student Aid to determine how much money you may receive in financial aid.
The earlier you complete the FAFSA the better. You can file your FAFSA in December.
So, how do you start the financial aid process?
- Schedule an appointment with an RIEOC Counselor.
- Make a list of the colleges you want to attend
- Bring your tax or benefit statements for yourself and/or your parent(s).
Tip – Don’t wait to be accepted to college to file for financial aid. Get started TODAY!
Schedule an appointment with your RIEOC counselor to complete the FAFSA form.
