FAFSA
One essential in paying for college: Complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) as early as possible after January 1 of your senior year. Completing and submitting your FAFSA will allow you to be considered for many federal, state, institutional and private funds. Then there are scholarships, grants, and loans to help you with the rest.
