We'll be sure it's submitted on time!
You can get a jump-start on your 2009-10 college financial planning, and be one of the first
in the nation to file your FAFSA!
Securing student financial aid is critical for most students intending to go
to college, as some types of financial aid are distributed on a first-come,
first-served basis.
In 2007-08 more than $145 billion in student financial aid
was distributed to students in the form of grants, federal loans, work-study, and
tax credits/deductions. Statistics show that the average college student
receives $9,500 of this student aid per yeari.
Most students, regardless of family income, are eligible to receive some type
of student aid. However, you must file your FAFSA to be considered for almost
all student aid programs.

financial aid you may be eligible to receive—an important asset as you begin your college
financial planning.
IMPORTANT: The FAFSAFirst™ Summary will allow you to
review the information on your FAFSA as it will be submitted to the federal processor.
By reviewing your FAFSA and making any necessary changes or corrections BEFORE it is
submitted, you’ll be able to help minimize processing delays and errors.
