Federal Student Aid Programs: The programs covered by the FAFSA include the following:
Federal Grants - Grants, unlike loans, do not have to be repaid. The newer grants are the TEACH, ACG, and National SMART grants. The most well known grant is the Federal Pell Grant.  The FSEOG and other Institutional Grants are less well known. More Federal Grant Information...

Campus-based Programs - These programs are administered by the financial aid office at each school. These programs include the FSEOG, the Federal Work-Study and the Federal Perkins Loan. More info...

Stafford Loans - The FFEL and Direct Loan Programs for students are known as the Stafford Loans. The Plus Loans are the FFEL and Direct Loan Programs for parents.  More Federal Student Loan information...

FAFSA Process:

1. Complete and sign the FAFSA.
2. Within 5 days they will process your
FAFSA and send you a Student Aid Report (SAR).
3. Review the SAR to check for errors. The SAR will summarize the data you report on your
FAFSA.
4. Keep a copy of your SAR.
5. View your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). If your
FAFSA information is complete, an EFC will appear in the upper right corner of your SAR. Your EFC is based on the financial information you provide on the FAFSA.
6. Check with your school. Your school will use your EFC to award your financial aid.
7. For additional help filling out the
FAFSA, visit a FAFSA website.
