• The FAFSA is a task for graduating seniors, and their families, to complete early in the new year. Only seniors planning to attend college in the fall need to file a FAFSA. Scholarships, however, are available to students in other grades, so start searching.

    The FAFSA will be available on October 1st.

    FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid - you must fill out the application to be eligible for federally-funded aid, scholarships, grants, or loans.

    Would you like assistance filling out FAFSA? There are many FREE FAFSA Workshops in town. You can find locations, dates and times at  https://collegegoal.az.gov/event-information.
