Financial Aid is funding that is available to students attending a post-secondary educational institution. This funding is used to assist in covering the many costs incurred in the pursuit of post-secondary education.  Aid can consist of grants (which do not have to be paid back) and loans (which do have to be paid back.)

Every Student planning to attend a post-secondary educational institution should file the FREE FAFSA form on-line.  The FAFSA form opens on October 1st and should be filed during a students' senior year of high school and EVERY year thereafter that the student plans to attend college.
